Our original order of 14 LRVs was enough (with projected maintenance spares) to operate 8 minute rush hour service, as that was the originally expected launch frequency. We have since received a 15th vehicle from Bombardier as compensation for the delays, which IIRC said in the council report at the time would provide enough vehicles for 7 minute headways.
That additional train was to cover one at a time being out of service for the frame re-welds on the first several trains (number forgotten, and don't feel like digging for it now). Have we heard anything on the status of that re-welding initiative? Is it done? Is it started? If anything has been said about that in the past year or two, I've missed it...
