Even if they produce 1 week for the next four years, which is twice the production they claim to be hitting now (still no results to prove that claim yet), they would finish #182 in February of 2021 and still have the 30(?) or so Edmonton ordered to work on next and then any other orders that come in before starting on ours.
Metrolinx doesn’t need all the ones it ordered. With the Sheppard and Scarborough lines in limbo and the Finch line enormously delayed, they should be happy Bombardier doesn’t have too many vehicles coming down the pipeline. We could probably take as many as we could possibly need out of the end of Metrolinx’ order, especially with the additional Alstom* vehicles they have ordered on their way.
