I just witnessed what is the most bizarre streetcar behaviour in my life. There must be some sort of accident screwing up the Queen St. Route. That or everyone is being short turned to go home (in the middle of rush hour).
I live in an apartment overlooking the Church & Queen Intersection. In the past 15 or so minutes I've see two ALRVs and a CLRV come up north on Church and turn onto Richmond. I've seen Two ALRVs come east on queen, turn south at Church and then turn west again at Richmond, followed by a third ALRV that turned south and kept going south. A CLRV followed later, while an ALRV followed by a CLRV followed by (I think) another ALRV turned north at Church. Somewhere in between there was another CLRV that came up north on Church and turned west at Richmond. Finally two more ALRVs turned south onto Church from Queen (the first went West on Richmond, the second continued south). I'm no where near close enough to see the car numbers to know if any of those were duplicates (I suspect the one ALRV I've seen continue south on Church was a north Church to east Richmond turn. I also feel like I lose a southbound CLRV in there somewhere.
But the point is, there's been no eastbound service coming from east of Queen since I started watching just before 9am. And there hasn't been one streetcar continue east past Queen, along Queen, either. That can't be right. There's no news story on google news yet that would suggest a disruption, and nothing on spacing. I would check the TTC site but I can never find what I want past the first page (and they never update anyway).
I kind of wish I had taken pictures.
