ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Can you elaborate?  This is news to me.  As far as I am aware, the test track schedule was "relaxed" somewhat in light of the late train delivery - a very kind and logical decision, I think, all around. Why force GrandLinq to blow their brains out with OT to get the Test Track ready, when their worker's time would be better spent finishing up other areas, instead?

As others have stated, now that we have reached the maximum threshold, there is no incentive to hurry. $3.3M is small potatoes to all players and likely only fills the requirement expected by the public that there is a penalty clause.

Well, that's basically a free train...
