- All rolling stock vehicle testing required to start revenue service is complete

- 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.
To begin service, vehicles must go through an acceptance process. Significantly, no vehicles are yet fully ready for service, in that they have not yet achieved Preliminary Acceptance Certificate (PAC) or Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC).
Thanks so much for posting!
I am confused here, these two highlighted statements seem to be in direct disagreement.
"All rolling stock vehicle testing required to start revenue service is complete"
And multiple statements explaining the work left to be done on vehicles explicitly before revenue service and discussing reliability issues of the vehicles suggests that stock vehicles are not completed testing for revenue service.
What does the first statement mean?
I think the sentence makes much more sense if we read it as "All rolling stock vehicles required to start revenue service are complete". Maybe that's what they meant, maybe that's not.
