Yes, a ridiculous article. We haven’t had big problems, other than the long delays. Even our collisions don’t really qualify as major difficulty — it’s inevitable that KW drivers gonna be KW drivers. By the time they carry one passenger we will have been operating mostly successfully for weeks. To see yard derailments, vehicles not working properly in winter, and still no specific opening date as small compared to a successful open takes a weird kind of lack of awareness.
I do have to mention that I have some questions about this ATP not yet being implemented. Our friend Canardiain asked about this on Twitter:

It’s a bit strange. First, what do they mean by “under development”? It’s not a new feature. Second, what have they been doing for the last two years? If there had been no problems at all at Bombardier, would we have opened any earlier? I’m thinking that maybe Metrolinx might still have been just as late with the specialized equipment, and maybe ATP would still be “under development” regardless.
