ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

We had a loaner for that, which eventually became wholly ours after the court settlement

Except for the one that was recently hit by a cement truck, replacing a fibreglass panel only takes a day or two mostly dependent upon scheduling of the mechanics rather than how long it takes to do.

Also, the 10 minute service plan only needs 10 trams on the tracks at one time. Minus 515 subbing in for whichever one is currently getting rewelded, that's still 4 free trams at any one time.

The original 8 minute service plan only need 12 of the 14 on the tracks at any one time.
