All low-floor arrivals through to September will be deployed onto King to continue to equip that route. 512 will continue to operate all off-peak service with low-floor vehicles (15), with 9 CLRVs supplementing AM peak service. In September, the 512 will be converted to a full low-floor schedule.

Operators switch from pole to panto upon entering service on Spadina northbound at King Street or southbound on Queen Street, depending on the routing from the carhouse. When leaving service from Spadina, all cars route via Charlotte Loop and switch from panto back to pole. You may have seen...

510 SPADINA began pantograph operation today.

The Line 3 LRVs were planned to be stored and serviced at the facility planned for Sheppard East LRT at Conlins.

Gerrard and Broadview and Gerrard and Parliament are also scheduled for this summer.

There's 22 Flexity vehicles on King: 10 on 514 CHERRY, 12 on 504 KING, for a total of 22.

The temporary terminal will only be utilized for approximately 6 months to dig the connection tunnel from the Kennedy Station subway concourse to the LRT station. Once complete, all buses will return into the station.

The 512 is fully served by LF cars on weekends now, so any cars above that requirement will be deployed on 504. LF cars will make regular appearances on weekday runs of the 504 starting Monday. They will replace CLRVs one-for-one, as available, increasing capacity.

You can note where the new stops will be if you search for a spot on the sidewalk marked with neon green paint. That is where the stop marker will go. The TTC only utilizes the white priority bar for turns. A streetcar proceeding straight through an intersection would use a regular green ball.

This is in place for most streetcar routes at most intersections. A detector is triggered by an approaching streetcar, which can extend a green light or shorten the length of a red light. In the case where it extends a green light, a second detector within the intersection cancels the extension...

I'm going to speculate it has something to do with CF's sponsorship of Team Canada in advance of the 2018 games. They've recently put up "Home of Team Canada" on the entry to the tower.

511 will be buses in September.

nfitz is correct. The new cars are being introduced one-for-one to the legacy cars to meet the off-peak requirements of the route; any cars above this would be put onto the next route in the order. This maximizes the use of the cars all day, rather than just being used for peak periods. When...

The TTC did not provide that information.

The 514 Cherry route will be fully converted by summer and serve the pilot area. There are not enough new streetcars in the near term to fully equip a large route like King.

They've removed the old fare gates at Pape Station as of this morning.

Streetcars return to 502 and 503 starting Monday

The schedule is CLRV, but equipment swaps will be done if there's a new streetcar available. This is consistent with how conversion was done on Spadina -- CLRVs were scheduled and new streetcars substituted 1-for-1 as they were made available. Currently, only 510 and 509 are officially...

Are you sure the CLRVs weren't diversionary cars from the 501? Looked back at the past week and at most there was 1 non-Flexity on 510.
