smallspy Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 21 hours ago, ttc rider said: That's what they've been doing since March, when car 4433 was delivered - brake tests at Hillcrest immediately upon delivery, then driving under their own power to Leslie. 4432 was the last car to be towed down to Leslie back in February. The reason I asked about 4452 being towed was that with multiple deliveries due until year-end, I suspected that some cars were to be shipped unfinished (just like they did last November) to meet the schedule, which may have required them to be towed. It turns out I was wrong. The cars that were unfinished were driveable - it was the interior fittings that needed to be completed. In any case, it doesn't sound like Bombardier wants a repeat of that. In other news, 4453 is sitting at the unloading dock and may be unloaded today. That depends on if CP comes by and shuffles the flat cars, however. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to know what to put where - once it rolls off at Hillcrest I figure it is “delivered” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For buses, traditionally the entry into service has been kept in the same thread as the delivery information: TTC Nova Bus Deliveries & Entered Service Tracking I don't see why the streetcars need to be any different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodbineSecondExit Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 4454 is signed in as 506 on NextBus. It is currently on College downtown after being in Lake Simcoe the last little while. First revenue service soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. @bus_7246 if you read this, can you please confirm the cars that were delivered this week along with the dates when they were off-loaded? I am trying to keep as accurate a delivery record as possible and the last one I know of is 4455 arriving on Dec. 6 (although I am not positive about that date either).

dowlingm Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Has anyone other than that one UT poster (and a new one at that) seen evidence of 4458-60? Claims an F towed 4460 out of Hillcrest. Hope it’s legit but there is nothing from usual knowledgeable sources here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit geek Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 3 hours ago, 110B West Pickering said: so in a week there is 56-60. Is BBD finally picking up the pace now to the level that should have been from day one? Are they playing the same rushing game as university and college students trying to get in projects and assignments in before they're due for good? Probably not surprising for such a customized product - compared to off-the-shelf models like the Brussels STIB T3000/T4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
