I can see with increased demand, North American manufacturers may start to design fully integrated solutions like European manufacturers.

Yes. I am on the stakeholder group' for the King project - though we have not met for several years they send us updates but not about this.

This is unacceptable that there is no maintenance procedures in place for work cars. The fact that they didn't even have anything in place is mindboggling. Completely asleep at the wheel.View attachment 615026

The third-party probes also found the country’s largest transit system doesn’t have proper measures in place to track maintenance work to prevent leaks.www.thestar.com

The first incident should have triggered them to look at all of the hoses on all of the work cars.Steve Munro's report on the work car issue:

Who's genius idea was it to tow a car leaking oil back to greenwood.?
With the retirement of the T1's will some be kept as work cars? This would allow the retirement of the H cars from the maintenance fleet. This would only work if the T1's can be connected to flat cars.

Hard to say. The simplistic electrical outfit of the H4s might work in their favour compared to the space age T1s, though those would undoubtedly be in better shape.
I fully expect some of the H4s at least to survive. Some of the conversions were done quite late - car 5630 was being shopped during the Greenwood open house in September 2019. I really can't see them junking it unless the T1 retirement comes very late indeed.

This feels like a waste. Just merge it with Metrolinx's which is already superior.

Some already were.
Shhh don't give them any ideas.
It's the H5s and H6s that are most deserving of the "Space Age" title, much like the R44 and R46 in New York (actually even more so).
I do wonder how/why an H4 sat around the yard unused and fully intact for 7 whole years after retirement before being converted into a work car. That one should've been preserved while its passenger interior was intact.

Lemme guess, the announcements are bad news (hopefully I'm wrong and it's actually good news, but I gave up getting my hopes up).
Why the H4s but not the MR-73s, R46s, R68s, and other cars of that era?

I’m imagining a big PR event about something not newsworthy. Line 2 fleet replacement funding: agreement in principle, ie. non-binding agreement woohoo!
