I really don't think this is a big deal. Heck, not even a deal. Everything appears to be done by March 30. Give an extra 2 weeks to factor in unforeseen events, 1 week for unforeseen unforeseen events, plus 3 days for unforeseen, unforeseen and unforeseen events. Plus an extra week to complete things and 3 days for clean-up. So everything should be done by the first week of May, long before the Ion is ready to role.

Much better to get all these blips fixed now... well before service starts. You don't want to have to close down part or all of the line soon after you are operational. This is what testing is all about. 

At our end > there should not be an expectation that everything done would be user perfect. Big factories can tool their new production lines behind closed doors and no one cares except management. 

I am hopeful that those closely observing (me, you and others here and on FB) can have a greater degree of patience as we have as we endured because of Bombardier. 

Close only counts in horseshoes. Let's do it right... Waterloo Region and iON working hard to make our system great.
