Also, it looks like someone broke into the LRV. The one door was busted open and rattling. So, there you go. I’m wrong, you’re right.

It really is a shame that you'd have to be wrong on this one. I was hoping you were right, as probably was everyone else. But Lancaster yard is a horrible place to store a multi-million dollar vehicle without some sort of paid security. Hopefully the region will learn its lesson about trying to save a few hundred dollars on a billion+ dollar project. Somehow I doubt though the the boneheads at the region will clue in, even if what you saw is true. They all be stubborn as hell.

Is it actually on the region though?  Or Bombardier.  AFAIK they wouldn't have transferred ownership until delivery is completed.

It is a shame though.

As for the rail crossing, it really is unacceptable that the hotline would have such a long wait time...  I didn't know that GRT would direct traffic?
