The big (and very exciting!) news out of that excellent Kitchener Post article is that all 14 trains are scheduled to be delivered this year! I previously had only thought we'd see one or two trains before the end of the year, for clearance testing and so on, with the remainder being delivered over the 2017 calendar year. I didn't realize the plan was to have all 14 trains at the OMSF this year!
Now, being realistic with everything going on with Bombardier, even I, a huge BBD fanboy can say I fully expect that we'll see a slower than planned rollout of our trains... but I was thinking that if they were delayed, we might not see trains this year at all. A delay from having 14 trains this year might mean we only see a couple - but we'll see at least one, which is all I really care about.
Will be by Millhaven again within a month so I'll be sure to stop by the test track and see if I can spot any activity there!
I really, really, really wish the Project Team and Bombardier would just release some kind of construction photo at least showing a partially assembled vehicle to whet our appetite and settle our nerves.
