Given the picture of 4464 in Thunder Bay, I'd say it looks ready to ship.
4463 is not tracking and assuming it still no here and in transit, if 4464 is ready to be ship.
That will complete 2017 order/schedule and now onto 2018 unknown scheduling, other than 60 cars this year. I guess 4463 & 64 will be part of the 60 cars this year?
We may see 4462 in service Sunday.
Don't worry. There will be pages of speculation and outrage here all year long.Its only January so still way too early to speculate if that will happen.
The 11 was the CEO's verbal comments at the meeting. Wasn't clear if that was delivered, shipped, in service, or even included the (then) three that had arrived in January, but not included in their year-and count of 59. He said they didn't have a revision yet for the remainder of the year.A few posts back there was mention of 11 cars delivered in 2018 Q1 and a cumulative total of 120 cars delivered by 12/31/18. I'm still not sure these figures have been carved in stone. If these are the official numbers then you should get 61 cars delivered FY 2018, starting with 4460 ending with 4520.

With the lack of a Bombardier schedule, TTC's comment about 120 is just an educated guess.The post mentioning 120 total by 12/31/18 seemed pretty clear but I don't think anyone really knows for sure especially BBD.
Since they cannot get out of the yards when its cold due to mechanical problems they would really not be good as snow ploughs!If we could get enough of the new Flexity streetcars in the fleet, maybe we can discuss turning some of the remaining CLRV's into work cars, IE. snowplows.
Excuse my ignorance, all I know about the Bombardier Streetcar contract is what I've learned from this thread, but aren't we at the 60 streetcar mark? Why aren't we hearing about whether the option for the additional 60 will or won't be exercised?
Wasn't it 150+60?Good question. I suspect the answer is complicated.
We know the city wants more than 60 cars (100 IIRC) and was preparing a tender for this. We also know Bombardier is struggling to meet their reliability requirements.
I expect they gave each-other an extension on both items. I also expect if the city does go to tender that Bombardier will place a bid using pricing similar to the options contract.
