It is a major part of it, but even if all the trains were here, there are a handful of other significant issues that need to be resolved, and rely on a lot of cooperation of outside partners.

I don't want to make this into "wow we're really behind schedule" thing, but when the project was first announced was it late 2017 or early 2018 that was the target completion date?

Saw a double train on Duke Street today.

Gah that looks so good. I wish we could have double-length trains right from the start!

I want the first run to just be all the trains hooked together. And blaring ABBA or something.

Speaking of double trains, I've been wondering about the plans for that. Will the timeline remain the same, or be shifted to be later due to the late opening of service?

And you got lovely photos, as well. Thanks for sharing!

While I am hopeful that it will be ready in December (which could mean December 31), I don't think we'll be seeing it before the end of winter (as in before the May long weekend, in political speak). If they were to tell us now that it will be ready in spring (which, in political speak is anytime before the Canada Day long weekend), a lot of politicians could potentially lose their re-election bid. If they tell us after the election, then everyone has 4 years to cool off, and perhaps 3 years to see the LRT in action and 2022 won't be such an issue.

Even if those dates don't quite match our seasons in practice. That said, I'm hoping that Canard is wrong this time and we are not that far away from operation. |
