ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(05-25-2016, 09:05 AM)Canard Wrote: They're ~80% similar. The frames and so on are all virtually the same. The nose cone is different on ours, ours are wider, doors on both sides, a different width truck is on ours... But all the same issues with Outlook trickle down to Freedom.

But the TTC trams have at least a unique gauge and the ability to make tighter turns than the standard Flexity -- both of which would potentially impact the frames, would they not?

And the delays to date have been with the TTC version, because the Metrolinx order hasn't hit the production line yet -- or has it?
