ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I have little faith they are dispatching repair crews any faster to other stuck signals caused by the signal hardware itself.

I see what you mean. Yes, I agree that problems which severely affect either LRT service or cross traffic need to be addressed forthwith. It occurs to me that a signal stuck down could be handled by a staff member popping on the LRT and just being let off right at the problem location. That might be the fastest access to locations along the rail corridor section in Waterloo. Not so much in Kitchener where taking a truck down the expressway would probably be faster.

I wonder how those jobs are staffed? I mean, what is the person who fixes a stuck gate doing when they aren’t fixing a stuck gate?
