The the trains would just stretch from one stop to another and you could walk in the train between stops.

These trams need two pantographs to supply them with the needed electricity.

Any chances that the new Flexity Outlook will or will not take part in the Beaches Easter Parade, Sunday, March 31, 2013?
Maybe they're afraid, very afraid.

For me, the current colours seem merely like an adaptation of the CLRV colours, so it's not quite the leap in style I was looking for. Zum is clean and modern. It doesn't have to be bland to look like a bus or streetcar.

None I'd think. The vehicle still belongs to Bombardier, and Bombardier staff would have to be running it. I'd assume that these staff are not based in Toronto, and would be travelling home for Easter - and presumably would be unlikely to volunteer their time.
And even if they were, who would foot their accommodations? I suppose Bombardier could donate time and money ... but probably way too late to start that process.

Collisions, oops, or scratches on a Sunday afternoon.

Supposed to be ship at the end of March. This depends on if more testing is require and if so will be in April.
4402 was supposed to be ship from the plant on March 15 and was expecting to be here now.
Wondering if TTC will do a press viewing of it being off loaded at the new spur at Hillcrest this week.

Steve Munro is reporting that the TTC have told him that the car has now been unloaded at Hillcrest (presumably the new spur is open, and the rail car came direct to the TTC facility) and 4402 is now inside the shops. http://stevemunro.ca/?p=7566

Changes to TTC streetcar platforms to cost $58M: Byford
CITYNEWS The new TTC low-floor streetcars won’t fit on some right-of-way platforms, including the one on St. Clair, making for more expensive construction on an already controversial route. “This is not a problem that’s taken us by surprise,â€

I think Andy Byford's full quote givesa better picture.
This is not a problem that’s taken us by surprise,” TTC CEO Andy Byford said Monday afternoon.
“We have got money set aside in our capital budget to make changes to the islands,” he said, adding that the total cost for all the islands – not just St. Clair – would be an estimated $58 million.
