First time I've seen a 511 car enter service on Queen Presumably because King was closed for TIFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayside Observer Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yesterday, on my way home from lovely work, I saw a mess on the Bathurst St. bridge. I'm not entirely sure what happened because I was trying to navigate through in my truck but at first it looked like they were trying to couple 4091 to 4110 as if 4110 broke down while heading southbound. Then, in front of 4110, there was someone in a stopped car and a special constable or parking enforcement car in front of that. I took a quick glance and didn't see any accident damage but again, I was driving through this mess so I couldn't look all that closely at what was going on. 4145 blew by the whole thing going northbound. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen was a regular route that 511s used to get to Bathurst last spring. I know they used to use King earlier than that, and I don't know when they changed, or why.

Bus_Medic Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Sounds like they’re getting pretty arbitrary with the culling now. That would be a pretty straightforward repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLRV4002 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Instagram post taken a few weeks ago showing 4002 still at Hillcrest. Along with this comes news that the OurStreetcar art project is expected to begin running the week of September 23rd. From what I know it will run for about 6 weeks somewhere along Queen. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Once the assembly line at Thunderbay is closed for flexity cars it will cost more to turn it up again. Wouldn't it be cheaper to order the cars now? Plus it would be even more expensive for another vendor to build cars to their specs only for 60 cars.
