Yesterday afternoon I rode on 4634 on King St. on route 503. It still had that "new streetcar" smell!

You sure it was 4634 as it has no tracking for it yesterday and was in Russell every time I looked at it
 
Tuesday, October 15: 4629 is out and about, riding the rails at King and Bathurst.

Edit: As noted by Drum118 below, this was very likely 4629's first trip out of the barns on its burn in - it headed south on Bathurst towards Exhibition, so it was not just shuttling between Leslie and Hillcrest.

It just started doing its testing and burn in as it was still in the service track this afternoon and looked ready for testing..

4628 is still having issues like 4625 that has been back and forth between Russell and Leslie. It is currently at Leslie after arriving Sept 17 (32 Days) and has yet to enter service
 
4629 has enter service on route 503

4530 has been off loaded that arrived at Hillcrest on the weekend
 
4630 started its burn-in and test Friday afternoon and may enter service around Nov 19. We may see 4627 by then that still hasn't shown up.
 
4630 has enter service on 503 after 22 days at start of service today

Still waiting for 4627, 4631, 4632 and 4633 to fill the gap between 4604-4634. TTC has haft of the new cars on site.

Then there is the missing 4471 and 4478 that haven't been seen since August 7, 2018 and may never to be seen again.

4631 was delivery to TTC on Monday and off loaded on Wednesday

Odd as how they are being delivery out of order. Still missing 4627 and now 4632

Maybe 4632 was the other I saw? They were both on those flatbed rail cars, but I only paid attention to the # of the second. They weren't too far apart, maybe 20 seconds apart.
 
I really wish the legacy Flexities had been equipped with Destos on the left side of the car...

With the constant diversions on the streetcar network, this would've been helpful.
