ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Is 515 the latest LRV that Bombardier sent us for their colossal screw ups?

I'm curious if they plan on putting it into service anytime soon, or whether it'll just act as a spare. I don't know much about train scheduling but if adding that could increase headway, that would be pretty nice. I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think the initial headway was supposed to be 7 minutes in rush hour and...possibly 12 minutes the rest of the time.

Edit: Unrelated, but does anyone know if the automatic door opening will end up being permanent? I know they started that at the beginning of the pandemic when we thought that it could be easily transmitted through touch, but research has since proven that it's extremely hard to do so. I don't mind having them open on their own, it's pretty useful.
