Take nothing for granted, that’s the golden rule in this hobby.
Like CLRV’s and ALRV’s on Queensway and Lakeshore Blvd, for instance.
On Jan 8th 2017, all streetcar service west of Roncesvalles will end for a year or more, due to reconstruction of the Humber River Bridge on the Queensway.
By the time streetcar service retsumes in the west end, Bombardier may indeed have delivered another 40 or more new streetcars. There will still be old ones around, but no one should assume that it will be common to see them en masse, with no Flexities in the shot.
Soon they will be as rare as SD40-2s at Leaside.
If it matters – get ’em before January 8th.
