And elsewhere they’ve advertised that they have dozens of Bombardier employees on site, so it’s reasonable to assume they have all 4 maintenance bays in use for this work if needed.
But really all this speculation is pointless. The real problem is the veil of secrecy. Somebody should try asking on Twitter why those lights are still bagged. Anybody want to offer odds on the various outcomes after 2 weeks:
a) no response
b) non-responsive response (e.g. “Thanks for reaching out…”)
c) actual response
I’d give 100:1 on that last one!
Testing was likely restricted from that section due to the watermain break and the need for cleaning and inspection due to the muddy flood. As for the rest of the line: they are doing some sort of testing between Mill and Fairway today. Whether that includes LRVs or not I'm not aware of at the moment. Edit: There is, in fact, an LRV conducting signals and Train-to-Wayside Communications testing between Mill and Fairway Station
