Moving the LVR by flat deck is not the issue, but unloading them is. The flat deck has to line up with the tracks and then place the ramp to the tracks. How long is the trailer and cab and how much room is it going to need to place the trailer into place as well which intersection will have to be close to do this???From link.
View of the mock station and Gloucester car at the exhibition grounds.
People looking at the new subway cars.
They used the city's streetcar tracks and temporary tracks to tow the subway cars from the CNE to the Davisville Yard. Both the streetcar and subway tracks had the same gauge,
1,495 mm (4 ft 10+7⁄8 in).
So moving the Crosstown light rail vehicles by truck and delivering them is simple.

Thanks.
Any idea as to time and where it will happen as I have not heard back from my contact yet??
Given the Yonge Issue, not surprise other than 6.
Guess one on each track will go west as far as they can and one on each track up to Kennedy portal and maybe to Kennedy Station if ready

If the Halton County Radial Museum could do it with the ALRV and Toronto subway cars, I think Metrolinx could do it with the Flexity Freedom vehicles. With guidance from the TTC and the Halton County Radial Museum, of course. Don't forget they used the flat bed trailers with the first Flexity Freedom vehicles.

That is begging for a development above it.

Too bad they didn't think about developing over the maintenance yard. They can probably build 10 condo towers over the tracks
Railway depots and Hong Kong property development - Checkerboard Hill
With so little free space in Hong Kong, railway depots aren't just open air railway tracks and workshop facilities, but spaces that combine commercial property developments with the services need to keep the trains running. So how does the MTR Corporation use them to fund new rail projects...

No reason to think it won’t happen eventually.

I wonder when they’ll start testing the new bus terminals on the crosstown route ie: Mount Dennis Terminal, Keelesedale Terminal, Caledonia and Science Centre terminal

The transit geek crowd would cheer as the switch to electrify is switched on.

I'm guessing Metrolinx has their own dual wheel rail truck to move the light rail vehicles without electricity.
Has anyone videoed one?

Once energized the OCS cables are electrified and dangerous if encountered. It is never safe to go near the OCS. Please obey signage and stay away from all overhead cables.
Are Torontoians killings themselves from streetcar OCS cables downtown too often that they need to write this? ML is always out of sync with reality.
