Things seem to have drifted in this thread towards general sightings of Flexities and away from the specifics of deliveries and testing of new cars. Might I suggest the CPTDB (https://cptdb.ca/forum/25-sightings-for-greater-toronto-area/) if you are looking for sightings and general transit chat not related to the delivery of new cars?

I'm not sure why you are objecting to me pointing out that we don't a list of Flexities out on 501 on Saturday mornings.
Hang on, are you saying we don't need a list of Flexities out on 501 on Saturday mornings? LOL!

I have to say, that banner is pretty nice, but maybe, each time a Flexity gets to Hillcrest, we need something more then a banner.

There is no need for this type of thread, as they will appear on 501 in regular service in 2019, since its the next line to get cars. That thread needs to be remove now.
The new Fleet of cars will show up as assign by management as to when and where. Other than you and maybe a few others, who care what cars are on what route as to when and where. I will speak for myself, I care when cars arrived, start tracking, doing testing and entering service on x route is more important than what you want. I will leave it to others to say what they want to see.

What so special about that, when they show up in other threads in the first place like TTC Catch All?????

I have been obsessively reporting cars released and delivered due to a general the lack of confidence in Bombardier to meet its promises. As 2018 ticked by, it was helpful to have a tally that shed light on progress to the year-end goal.
We now know that Bombardier’s 2018 production came fairly close to its promised schedule. For 2019, we may not need quite so detailed a tally. In theory, Bombardier is to deliver the rest of the fleet in 2019. If they meet that target, wonderful, but if a few cars don't arrive until early 2020 it is much less of an issue than when few new cars were on hand and production pace was lagging.
Going forward the reliability and availability of the delivered fleet may be more of a concern than the arrival of the last 20 or 30 cars. Only TTC can track that metric. I will try to keep up arrival reports for another 20 cars or so. As noted, we may soon care more about whether the last 30 or 40 CLRVs are still hanging in there than in how Flexities are being deployed.

Especially the part on CLRVs, won't be long before that is what we talk about, 69 are getting ready for retirement in 2019, leaving just 44.
