ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Perhaps Canard or someone can explain why if this is a "standard" product what makes it so challenging to produce on a regular schedule. Does Bombardier have the same production timeliness problems producing the European version of the Flexity at their European plants?

I thought the problems were not so much with the Metrolinx order of Flexity Freedom, which is indeed pretty much a standard product, but with the TTC order of Flexity Outlook, which is quite heavily customized to fit Toronto's needs.  And the Metrolinx order is in the queue behind the TTC order, so TTC delays hit us as well.

Or have I misunderstood this?
