I see that KevinL just retweeted a link to this:

The issues in Ottawa seem extremely familiar somehow.

But no matter, I’m sure Metrolinx will still continue to flaunt their new French boyfriend around, saying how much better he is than their hard-working husband who’s just trying to keep a roof over their heads.

I'm still not sold on the fact that Ottawa's line opens before ours.

But is it a fact?

Is what a fact?

Neither line has or has ever had an official opening date. I’m with Spokes!

Despite my retweet, that story is a bit overhyped - this is a new model from Alstom, but it has a lot of established design behind it. It's still news that there are delays associated with it.

The fact they have so few vehicles available is what’s alarming.

We actually have a higher percentage of our fleet available for testing and training. Wink

Well....what could possibly go wrong?
