Or the Flextys are being pieces of junk again

That's obviously what's happening. And I did see Car 4021 on 511 eariler so I can confirm it's not retired. Probably won't be as it has a half wrap for Christmas Music on CHFI.

I can confirm this as I just rode on it 3 times up and down Bathurst. Had a nice driver

I ended up riding on 4021, 4069 and 4104 today. There was a drunk couple on 4021 that started doing karaoke for what ever reason, so I had to ride it back down to get a better ride. Also note that 4069 has a different bell then the normal one.

Apparently 4133 is having brake issues and is now parked at Wolseley.

Edit: Looks like it's going back to Russell on Queen.

Edit 2: And now 4069 is circling on the spare track as Not in Service.

I noticed that 4069 actually went past the loading space. It looked like the driver was having trouble with something, but I didn’t notice anything odd while I was riding it.

Anyone got any tips about taking pictures on CLRVs?

Wait for the driver not to be busy or for them to leave. That way they won’t ask you what your are doing. But in general most of the drivers I was talking to today were nice. Also at either Bathurst station or especially Exhibition loop, make sure there are no other cars moving around. I made sure to look both ways to get shots of 4021 at Exhibition loop, as I didn’t want to get hit by a passing 509 car.

For inside photos, I would recommend Exhibition loop. There usually isn’t any people there, and if there are they don’t show up for a bit. This usually works if you have a friendly driver who doesn’t mind you taking interior photos.

Thanks

Also how can tell if a driver is nice?

In my personal experience this what I have seen: If they spot you taking photos, they will usually ask you what you are doing, and they may change the roll sign. The driver of 4021 inquired as to what car was sent down to the U.S so I showed him the photos and video that was posted on the website.

It would appear 4069 was really behind in it's scheduled time to leave, so it was waiting for it's next run it could leave on

CLRVs running today are

511 4085, 4155, 4069, 4123, 4024, 4147 & 4048

506 None

All per Transsee

It's possible there might be some on 506 later. Depends on the Flexity situation. And of course around the noon hour, more cars will go onto 511 and 506.
