I've had that thought over and over (typed out and deleted draft posts about it), and can't help but think the Spring 2018 date is such a pipe dream. I'd love to be surprised, but still thinking fall is more realistic, given how other projects typically go and the fact that there seems to be no interest in working OT to get the trains that are here out on the line.
I figure since we are getting trains that are being pretty extensively tested in Millhaven, since we have become the launch customer, that they will be more service ready once they get here than the ones Edmonton or Metrolinx will be getting. Sure they'll need some more burn-in time and some equipment commissioning, but they are doing a lot of running of the vehicles in Millhaven.
