ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Not usually, it was kinda odd. The LRT left Fairway and was barely moving along the tracks, then by the time we crossed Fairway Road it ended up stalling around that Chevrolet dealership. It was there that the lights started going out inside the LRV and we came to a complete halt. Then it limped along to Block Line, barely made it around the corners on Hayward and then struggled to make it to Mill Station. After it got to maybe Borden or Market it seemed to be able to keep a consistent speed.

Very likely just the frost and it was interesting that once the train was next to asphalt and concrete, it improved and it only struggled along the hydro and rail corridor sections where there would be more moisture lingering around in the air. Flexity vehicles struggle in snow/ice, so it was unusual to see frost likely have an influence too.
