No. The per-month schedules have been posted in this thread a couple times. We're only expecting 1 delivery for April. It doesn't really accelerate until September; it takes 18+ months to setup an assembly line for automotive; I expect LRV manufacturing isn't much off that.

Considering some might have fare evaded into the station oppose to spending money on a flight ticket, it would be more acceptable. They chances of dragging a person into a chair, smash their nose and get a concussion is nearly impossible from the train to the platform.

4435 might ship very soon. 4431 shipped in January if anyone remembers.
4434 just sat around Leslie over the long weekend. Today is the first day it went out for it's 600km run.

Queens Quay has a lot of people that try to cross the right of way or bunch up at the crossing after the bike lanes the streetcar drivers use the horn and bell a lot. People seem to think the streetcar right of way is safe crossing zone rather the the railroad that it is. If the city used proper signage to let poel know the streetcar rights of way are in fact a railroad then pole, would probably be more cautious.

WTH? This sentence is entirely incomprehensible to me. You having a stroke - call 911 if you smell toast.

I can comprehend it just fine: "Queen's Quay has a lot of people (who come into the path of streetcars) - the drivers use the horn and bell a lot along it, too. People will sometimes crowd around the pedestrian crossing area after the Bike trail (i.e. the pedestrian crossing waiting area is physically located past the bike trail when crossing northbound - this is sometimes too little space, and waiting pedestrians spill over onto the ROW) or will wait on the other side of the streetcar right of way for the light to change (i.e. people will stand on the westbound streetcar track when crossing northbound as it puts them closer to where they're trying to cross, nevermind incoming streetcars).[/QUOTE]
i.e. these red ovals are where he's saying people problematically stand:
I find that on Spadina you have more crazy people who will happily dart right in front of moving cars/streetcars either with or without looking, but completely deliberately. On Queen's Quay it's a different class of moron--people with zero spatial/situational awareness who mostly don't even know (as much as they ought to) that they're standing right in a roadway/streetcar track, and will stare at an oncoming streetcar hitting the emergency brakes and blaring its horn+bells not understanding what's happening.

Interesting that some of those "first use" "fully equipped" periods overlap, so for instance 505 gets one or more before 511 fully equipped, 501 gets one before 505 fully equipped. Wonder if that is gradually ramp up service so effects on loops etc can be moderated as well as balancing west-end yard/east-end yard deployment.
