The only circumstances where a "Late 2018" launch becomes a thing is if Bombardier continues to not deliver any trains until at least mid 2018. By then, I'm quite sure we'd be in the middle of legal action against them.
I fully admit I could just be influenced by media 'sensationalism', but isn't it completely justified to fear that Bombardier will continue to slip?
Even looking at a statement like: "even if LRT2 comes in late September, and they only hit their original cadence" - this doesn't seem like the likely worst case at all. They've never (?) hit their projected cadence, so I'm don't really have any faith that they'll hit their projected cadence in the future either.
I think it really sucks, to be honest. It's more time for people to bitch and moan about the LRT. It's more ammunition for how Government can't do anything right. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
