Do we have an updated rollout? Assuming Bombardier keeps to the revised schedule, when will we see new streetcars on King? I recall hearing that they reprioritized King because of the Liberty Village crush.

Only four new streetcars are out this morning (4405 through 4408). Yet another disgraceful showing by the TTC.
Needs 14 + 15% spare or 16 cars just for 510 so it will 100% new cars.
Just saw 4400 and 4408 in service. So there are 9 in operation? How many cars does it take to replace all cars on the Spadina route?
How's something like this even possible. and how long before people start blaming the intersection?
Make that five -- 4400 decided to show up.
Still, it is frustrating that the other two are MIA.
5 out of 7 is disgracing and frustrating? I'm surprised there are that many out between training, testing, and maintenance.Make that five -- 4400 decided to show up.

Because staff told me on Wed.How do you know that 13 doesn't already include the spare allocation?
I don't know when 511 became POP, but only a few drivers are using all doors. I thought it was 2016.The current timetable does have them on 511 as well. I'm surprised though, as I'd think there'd have to be a major communication campaign tied to the using the buttons on the rear doors to open them in mixed traffic, and how one safely gets to the streetcar. And I'm not sure the middle of the Pan Am games is the time for that.
My guess is that we won't see them on 511 anytime soon. On the other hand since when did TTC do things that make sense ...
Well given the number of LFLRV's available, you might be waiting quite a while for an accessible one if they spread them out among the lines.My understanding was that only 509 and 511 were going to be LFLRV during the games because the Ex is a games venue needing accessible transportation but there are no venues along 510. I wonder if this will end up being finessed like the Carlton temporary venue bus with all available LFLRVs being on 509.
