ttc rider Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Car 4418 entered passenger service for the first time tonight around 7:30 PM on 509 Harbourfront as a change-off for a CLRV (the change-off was done in the loop at Queen's Quay and Spadina).

As the first carhouse guy to have brought 4418 to its change off location, the car was actually changed off on Fleet st. west of Bathurst. She entered service as 509, 6 run in exchange for 4026.

ttc rider Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the details. I did see the car sitting for position in Queen's Quay Loop prior to the change-off after having been driven west on Queen and south on Spadina, which is why I thought the change-off took place in the loop itself, especially since it is a more convenient location than Fleet st/Fleet Loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be in the Bombardier Flexity Deliveries thread. This thread is for other streetcar tidbits, not sightings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to prevent confusion, I think it's better to change that thread's title to reflect that it deals with commissioning of the new cars as well, not just their delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Today marks the first day ever with Flexities deployed on all runs on 510 Spadina during daytime operation, so the route is finally 100% converted to low-floor vehicles - more than three months after the official "paper" conversion. 16 of the 17 available new streetcars are in service concurrently today - all except 4413.

Let's see if they'll be able to sustain it in the next few days. Two cars seem to be reserved for training on weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen lot's of comments to just cancel the deal but doesn't work that way and to start all over.....would be longer wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKLis Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 The TTC may have wanted to get another 60 new streetcars, on top of the current order from Bombardier. Looks like the TTC should open that order to all. If the federal and provincial government allow every streetcar company in the world to bid, that is.

leylandvictory2 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wonder how Bombardier is going to deliver the streetcars on time for Eglinton Crosstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
