Not really surprised. I was hoping for this to be done before winter 2018/2019.
We'll find out, hopefully, April 18th for a firm date...

It would take a major unforeseen issue to push this to 2019.
Something like Sept 1st 2018 is a good bet.
Should we start a pot?

Not a bad idea....though the winner is paid out by Bombardier, Grandlinq, ROW and Ion -- perhaps a free (family!) pass for a year...

I've been thinking the day after Labour Day for some time now.

Has the Twitter plugin ever worked since the upgrade? All previously existing links were mangled, and all new links are broken in a slightly different way.

Especially based on what I'm hearing about the bus change launch date, I'm with you here.

I hate to ask But is there any way you could post to the forum when you hear on the radio that an LRV is out and about?

I design precision high-speed automation. I understand fully that things don’t always work or go as planned. No one is saying that things shouldn’t be fixed.
My issue is that heavy construction wrapped up a year ago. Track measurements resulting in the discovery of fatal flaws requiring concrete to be jackhammered should have been taken a year ago, not months before service start. It is now a critical path item which will undoubtedly result in delays.
Had it been resolved last spring/summer, there would be no impact to service start. Now they are holding up testing. Thanks for the information ... cheers

My hours are all over the place, but no worries, I'll post what details I hear, when I hear them, lol

All I'm hearing right now is 504 and switches at the yard.

Thanks! I was by about 1 hour ago and just saw an LRV slink back into the main building. Then a guy came over and shut the gates, so I guess they’re done for the day.
