ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Can someone explain this sentence?:
"To expedite installation one train (Vehicle 510) will remain in Kingston for on-board installations, rather than complete installations in Waterloo as originally planned."

I thought 510 was always going to stay in Kingston for on-board installations; how is this different?

The document says installation is half-way done on 502/503/504 after starting on July 16. Installation is "expected to be complete in late September/early October."

July 16 to October 1 is 77 days (54 work days).

54 workdays from October 1 is December 18.

That's cutting it pretty close (and that's not including at testing of the newly installed equipment).

Even if they halve the time for the next 5 Waterloo installations, which seems unlikely given that there would be 5 not the current 3 they are working on, that would be 27 days or November 8 - still not a lot of wiggle room.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
