Interesting statement from the budget report:
"The first vehicle was delivered in February 2017. The second vehicle arrived October 2, 2017 and was placed in the Operations and Maintenance Storage Facility (OMSF) on October 3, 2017. The third vehicle arrived late last week and the fourth vehicle is now scheduled for arrival in mid/late December 2017.
These vehicles have not yet achieved Preliminary Acceptance Certification (PAC) and the Region has been clear that these vehicles have been delivered to permit testing and it does not constitute delivery or acceptance of any vehicle(s) under the Contract. Bombardier will remain responsible for each of the vehicle’s maintenance until Final Acceptance Certification (FAC)."
So while we now have three vehicles on-site in the region the Region doesn't actually considered to have actually have been delivered under the terms of the contract.
Unless one of them gets an FAC by Sunday it will mean that we don't have a single train "delivered" a year after the original deadline for the 14th.
The Hydro One relocation along the Hydro corridor parallel to Fairway was $5.7 million under budget.
The aBRT construction is currently $5.2 million under budget.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
