Tom Galloway expressed hope that they'll be launching in December but it's starting to look like Spring 2019 at the earliest, and early 2020 at the latest.
Sorry, what is up with the trains now? Last report said they were all substantially complete. What now?
501 is waiting for back-ordered parts for the doors and 514 is undergoing it's water test. Delivery of the first vehicle from Kingston with the equipment installed is expected late-summer. But at this point we don't need those vehicles here yet. We only need the 6 that are here to finish the system integration and signals testing. One of the workers I talked to said they were quite close to testing using the specialized equipment on the trains. Which is one of the reasons they wanted to test the gates from Mill to Fairway (even though some of the gates are missing i.e. Siebert in front of Scherer GMC, one at Balzer that had to be moved due to hydro constraints). Friday there will be a crew in trucks making sure all the inductive loops work properly for the on-road sections.
