Planned Fleet Sizes
2017-2020 - 14
2020-2024 -16
2025-2030 -20

I am wondering when the region will be approaching Alstom to purchase more. The dual car operations were only to start when there is a fleet of 20,

So even accounting for the two year delay with the mid-2019 launch, the Region is conceivably well within the 2020-2024 (corrected to 2022-2026) window when 16 trains would be in the fleet.  Since I don't know how far in advance an LRV must be ordered, it might also be time to consider getting in line for LRVs 17 to 20.
