One delivered in each of December, February, April, May, and July. Compared to 168 deliveries to date from Thunder Bay. I think the answer is ... no, it wasn't worth the effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Did they not build the ION and Eglinton cars there? It's not like they are sitting there doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityflyer Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anymore Line 5 cars delivered after that 7th unit in June 2019?

The August 2019 CEO's report says that one of the flood-damaged cars is expected to be returned by the end of the year - and they plan to have 196 vehicles in Toronto by the end of January (eight gone for welding/flood damage).

They said that the 19 weeks was an average amount of time for each car. The first cars would take longer, and the last cars would be shorter.

The first car takes extra time to set jigs up and learn how to take a car apart and put it back together, let alone how to fix welds. The 2nd car should take less time, but not that much time. By the 3rd car, things should start to be a lot faster and become faster as they get to the other cars. 4401 has been the quickest of all cars so far as there was less welding to be done one it and is to be rebuilt. 4404 was loaded Oct 28, 2018 and it been 10 month for it. 4405 was loaded April 10, 2018 and its been about 17 weeks and lets see if it makes to week 19.

There is a chance Calgary might order them for the Green Line, that is scheduled to be announced by the end of this year. Bombardier has made it to the shortlist, Siemens did not. There is Montreal and Quebec City wanting to build a line within the next decade. Who knows what will be ordered for Hamilton. 1 hour ago, Shaun said: Didn't Vancouver order Mark II cars?

It was a given from day one, and yet you continue to harp on it like a child that isn't getting his toy NOW. For a guy that seems to think he knows everything Dave, you seem to be blissfully unaware of things that are patently obvious to anyone who is the slightest bit informed - until they are pointed out to you. They'll get done when they get done. Until then, we're just going to have to wait. Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm not sure what car 4523 was up to this morning, but it seemed to be in-service westbound on 506 around 10 am. I was on a preceding CLRV. I was surprised to see it service the Coxwell/Upper Gerrard stop, with someone getting off. Nextbus was down all morning, and now it seems to be on Broadview - so no data. It was apparently in service yesterday pm on 501. Nextbus has consistently shown 28 (or 27 or 29) CLRVs every time I've checked recently on weekdays.

It was a RAD car that was helping out on the line due to an auto collision at Yonge & College this morning. The was was hosting a detour while the intersection was closed off, explaining as to why the low floor was on the line this morning *sigh of relief* 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Car 4569 is at Lambton yard awaiting delivery to Hillcrest later tonight. If no unexpected issues arise, it should be offloaded tomorrow (i.e. Friday) morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Car 4569 was unloaded at Hillcrest this morning (i.e. Fri, Aug. 30). Car 4415 was used to tow it off of CP's transporter. 12 minutes ago, Shaun said: Are the Kingston cars delivered by CN and then interchanged to CP before being delivered to Hillcrest?

ttc rider Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Car 4576 has left Roncesvalles carhouse about 20 minutes ago and is now in service on 504B King. It was delivered on July 11, so it took 50 days to commission it. Coincidentally, this is exactly how long it took to get car 4489 into service last summer, which also happened to be both delivered and commissioned exactly 1 year and 1 day earlier than the corresponding dates for car 4576. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowlingm Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 One has to wonder whether there was an imperative to get 4576's issues resolved and the car into service so there wouldn't be two Kingston cars taking up space for who knows how long at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
