All fourteen vehicles are currently in Waterloo Region. The status of these vehicles is as follows:
- Installation of specialized on-board equipment on all the vehicles was completed in December 2018
- All fourteen vehicles are being used to complete system testing, training and demonstration activities and vehicle modifications
- Vehicle and system integration testing and driver training has resulted in approximately 30,600 km of cumulative travel equaling approximately 800 ION round trips
- All rolling stock vehicle testing required to start revenue service is complete
- Reliability of vehicles is not yet “ready for service”
- Overall reliability of the vehicles continues to be an issue. Bombardier needs to complete significant modifications to address reliability issues. This totals approximately 50 to 100 hours per vehicle of critical work that needs to completed before service starts and 200 to 250 hours of work that can be completed after service starts. These types of issues can be expected with an initial run of vehicles.
- Preliminary Acceptance Certificate (PAC) and Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) processes still need to be completed.
