4616 has enter service on 503 after arriving April 16 which seem to be standard this year for route and 28 days. .None of the cars have yet to meet the current fleet services time or breaking the 20 day minimum time.
4617 is over at Russell for SWIS work and could be in service next week.
As a note, work has started on the centre tracks at Russell with the east side done, but not strung. TTC is taking their time string the areas were it is ready to be done,

If the current rate for the new cars, stay the same for rest of the year 36 out of the 60 on order will be here this year. This leaves 24 to come in 2025.
4618 is waiting to be off loaded at Hillcrest now.
If I remember correctly and stand to be corrected, TTC hasn't budget for this many cars this year with funding going in 2026. To pay the bills for these cars, the funds have to be cut from something in the system and what will it be??
With all 60 cars here next year, TTC will be hard press as to where to store them then let along today with Russell yard a 1/3 of the normal size until it is fully rebuilt. Even they, there is still no room until the new Hillcrest yard come on line by the looks of 2031. A lot of cars will be roaming at night time to free up what they can for the yards as well at Ex loop.

Presumably there's a delivery schedule, and if it's problematic, Alstom wouldn't be allowed to exceed it.
Weren't they under in 2023? Presumably the rate would be higher while they catch-up.
There always been underspend on the total of capital spent at TTC. I've no doubt that shuffling some budget around would solve.

4617 has enter service on 503 and the fastest to date at 16 days.
4618 is still at Hillcrest for some unknown reason after being off loaded Thursday.

How many more streetcars are actually in service yet? I remember talk that while we were building and getting more streetcars, the TTC was not actually finding more drivers to actually use them in service at the same time?

4663 will be the last one to arrived out of the 60 we are getting now. 15 have been delivered so far with 14 in service.
4618 that was off loaded Thursday is still at Hillcrest for some unknown reason.
As for drivers, I saw 2 training cars in a row at Russell a few weeks ago and haven't seen this before returning from training. What got me was seeing 16 trainees along with trainers getting off the cars after they were parked. Have never seen 8 trainees on one car at the same time with it been 1-3 in the past.

4618 has enter service on 503 today after 17 days. If it wasn't tor the fact it was held at Hillcrest until May 21, it would have been the fastest car to date to enter service. 16 days is the fastest so far.

4619 was off loaded June 4 and is out doing testing and burn-in
4620 is at Lambton and will be off loaded this week.
Looks like a car every 2 week is showing up and this could see 36 LRV arriving this year, leaving only 14 for 2025. We may see the 2 missing cars at the very end as well.
The existing fleet is undergoing 8 year overhaul that will see them out of service over a month or so to do the work.
