They really should be doing their clearance testing now on the whole line. It could be towed, or it could be operated under its own power without signalling integration (when there is only one vehicle, signals are superfluous). If there are any clearance problems (unlikely) we don’t want them further delaying opening. Once the completed vehicles start showing up, it should be pretty well just a matter of burning each one. The non-vehicle components of the system should already be as fully as possible tested.
