Waterloo Region LRT trains slowed by 20 km/h on spur lines because safety system isn’t running
Nice to see, but aren't the ions meeting their schedule already? Does Keolis have any incentive to go faster even if they can get ATP working? Would they just have to wait at the next stations anyway to catch up to the schedule?
The schedule is set by the region, so they can adjust things. The only problem is the contract has a 46 minute end-to-end time requirement, so as long as it's below that the region can't apply performance standards for late trains. In a different Record article the region seemed to think it would be possible to negotiate with Keolis to change it though.
