Technically yes, but that wasn't the commitment. Technically we were supposed to have 14 trains a 10 months ago. Neither technicality one helps our current situation; only results matter at this point.
That's like ordering a 14 course meal at a restaurant and having it sit in the kitchen; what good is it to you there? Except in this case we called the restaurant 4 years ahead because we heard so much about the establishment's locally made specialty and wanted to make sure we got to try this local delicacy before a larger group's reservation runs the kitchen staff off their feet.
Sure, they dropped off the first course of the meal, but it was day old bread that didn't live up to the long hyped expectations, but now the rest of meal is done. You can see it, smell it, but can't quite touch it yet, and now you can't get the server's attention, and now you're getting h-angry.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
