I had no idea they were having so many technical issues with crossings. 18 months of delay because of crossing arms is alarming. I wonder how much testing, timing and signing-off will need to be done here - especially since our system is the first modern LRT system in Canada?
Edmonton has had problems with its new Metro line too because of signalling and that was a pretty modern LRT in Canada isn't it? Although that was a mix of old lines/signals and a new line; so not quite the same case as here.
They started testing in July of 2013 to open in early 2014, but only opened at reduced frequency in September of 2015, and the signalling is still not working as intended with a new expected completion date of end of 2017.
Hopefully the GrandLinq partners' experiences in Australia and other places will help spare us that trauma.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
