TTC: Streetcar Network

[299 bloor call control.]

2020

Roncesvalles will have a partial reopening in January, storing the LF cars for 512

You would have to think that or Leslie is gong to be jammed to the gills with 200 Flexities. And with that, Roncesvalles CLRV days are done. The end.

Between that intersection and the yard being rebuilt, it will make for some great track-building porn.

Yep, with it busy being a busy streetcar intercestion for 501 and 504 routes, will be interesting for a few weeks to see it getting rebuilt, and not seeing any streetcar traffic. As well, the ROW being extended east to Roncesvalles will be interesting as well.

Why?

Put these tin cans out to pasture already.

Lovingly restored by some dedicated TTC team members. Out for a tourist run for sure. I was stopped when I snapped the pic. It was waiting for the switch or some authorization to return to the Russell yard.

They are 'out to pasture' but seeing them around is of interest to many and certainly tourists love seeing them - it is important to remember our past and probably good for TTC public relations.

I wish new streetcars looked like these tin cans.

You probably also threw out your old comic books because they were "old".

In the overcast/rain, that's really rolling the dice / underestimating the stupidity of Toronto drivers eh?

Was it in the local Christmas parade on Sunday? They always out for the Easter parade. If so, perhaps they wanted to test it out first.

Really want to know what is the point of streetcar service on Dufferin ( 504B ). Everytime I pass by there, the Flexities on 504B are empty as soon as they turn onto Dufferin St. On the other hand though, the tracks aren't non-revenue anymore, which is good.

I would think they essentially fulfill the original goal of the 514: providing empty streetcars for Liberty Village residents to board in the AM peak, instead of streetcars being rammed full of passengers that get on between Dundas West and Dufferin.

Hopefully the 508 will return eventually, maybe when 501 gets more Flexities.

Where else would you turn streetcars along King if you want to give more service on the busiest section of the route? Of course there are fewer passengers on Dufferin (and Cherry) but .....
