Ion trains being checked after welding defect found on Toronto streetcars
Quote:Most of Toronto's new streetcars built by Bombardier must be sent back for repairs, and now Waterloo Region's light rail vehicles are getting a close look.
"The Region of Waterloo is aware that some of the TTC's streetcars require corrective work," TJ Flynn, regional manager of Ion community relations, said Wednesday in an email.
"At this point, Bombardier is examining the region's light rail vehicles to determine if a similar issue is present on our vehicles."
Flynn did not know when the region would find out if its Ion vehicles would also need repairs due to welding problems.
