number, but rollsigns would not be updated until about 1999. Due to the streetcar shortage caused by the delayed deliveries of Bombardier Flexity Outlook streetcars, the route ceased operations entirely after the morning rush on June 19, 2015. As a result, streetcar service on Lake Shore Boulevard was operated exclusively by the 501 Queen streetcar, while service on King street was operated by the 504 King streetcar. Before the route was suspended in 2015, the westbound evening runs started at Church Street rather than Parliament Street. At the time of its cancellation, there were only three eastbound trips during the morning rush hour, and no service in the afternoon. Prior to January 2015, there were also four westbound trips in the afternoon rush hour. In July 2019, the TTC scheduled the reintroduction of 508 service for September 3, 2019, with five eastbound trips during the morning rush hour and five westbound trips during the afternoon rush hour, using low-floor Flexity streetcars.
