My inkling is that the system the Region/GrandLinq selected still hasn’t completely arrived (some components have) and they’re now at the point they realize they simply need to have getting the vehicles physically here trump everything else.
Tbe correct formal term is Specialized Equipment. I had previously been referring to it as the In-Cab Signaling System, since that is a major part of it... but it is not the only part. That is now the term used by everyone involved in the project.
To your comment, Tom - no, our vehicles are the “Standard” FLEXITY Freedom... or as Standard as Bombardier could develop it, with what little input Metrolinx finally provided for what they wanted. Remember: these vehicles were a variant of the FLEXITY 2 from Europe, customized for Canada’s weather, with the understanding that building 182 of them for Toronto’s many LRT lines would enable Metrolinx to help design the vehicle to what suited them.
