Metrolinx announced the purchase of 61 Citadis Spirit light rail vehicles from Alstom in May of 2017. The purchase provides Metrolinx with the flexibility to use the vehicles as needed across its current light rail transit projects, with 17 of the vehicles will be purpose-built for the Finch West LRT project, with the remaining 44 available for additional projects underway including the Eglinton LRT and Hurontario LRT.
The vehicles are expected to be available in time for use on any of the aforementioned projects in 2021.
