ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Not really. Many of the changes are changes in manufacturing process. others are changes in things like wire organization or better fasteners minor things you wouldn't ever think of when designing the vehicle initially but would improve the quality of life for maintenance workers or make the vehicles require fewer minor repairs because of an inferior fastener. These types of changes only get made after testing the vehicles for extended periods of time. Something Bombardier couldn't do because Metrolinx wouldn't sign on any of the paperwork for the 2 pilots for the longest time.
