TTC: Other Items (catch all)

[81-717]

With the retirement of the T1's will some be kept as work cars?

Some already were.

This would allow the retirement of the H cars from the maintenance fleet.

Shhh don't give them any ideas.

the space age T1s

It's the H5s and H6s that are most deserving of the "Space Age" title, much like the R44 and R46 in New York (actually even more so).

I do wonder how/why an H4 sat around the yard unused and fully intact for 7 whole years after retirement before being converted into a work car. That one should've been preserved while its passenger interior was intact.

But T1 circuit board components may become hard to source.

The circuit boards and other components in the H4s already are.

Lemme guess, the announcements are bad news (hopefully I'm wrong and it's actually good news, but I gave up getting my hopes up).

The circuit boards and other components in the H4s already are.

Why the H4s but not the MR-73s, R46s, R68s, and other cars of that era?

I’m imagining a big PR event about something not newsworthy. Line 2 fleet replacement funding: agreement in principle, ie. non-binding agreement woohoo!
