Finch West meets the Future: TTC 6514, a brand new Alstom Citadis Spirit LRV, sits inside the new Finch West Maintenance and Storage Facility in the North York area of Toronto. The "15" taped inside its front window denotes this as the 15th car of the order of 18 (6500-6517). The small fleet of 4-car articulated sets are owned by Metrolinx and are to be operated by the TTC on the nearby yet-to-be-opened Finch West LRT line (currently undergoing testing in some parts, and construction in others). These are different from the LRVs to be used on the Eglinton LRT line: the 6200-series Bombardier Flexity Freedom units.* Note, photo taken from public property outside with a very convenient telephoto lens.

    Although very similar looking, there are many little differences between this Alstom set and the ETS (Bombardier) set I posted this spring.

    It’s been mentioned this may be “Metrolinx 6514″ depending on ownership of the line/vehicles.
