Still possible, I think, but rather unlikely.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad they're quiet by the sounds of it.

It there is a report about other aspects of the project (a service launch date, other promotional events, etc.) to planning and works on the 6th we should see at this link on Friday November 2nd at 4pm. Councillor Galloway said the next vehicle report won't be until November 14th, which we would likely see on the November 9th at 4pm at the same link.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

We are still missing 4 trains and they are being delivered about once a week, right? It seems really tight. But they are still doing a lot of testing that would be inconsistent with a late launch. So I just don't know...

Technically they could run a full-service with 12 trains, without the 2 spares on standby. Whether or not that's a good idea, I don't know. Whether or not they'd even do that, I don't know. But full service only requires 12 trains, for now, and not likely a train would break down so early in its service life.

Much more likely for a train to be involved in a collision.

At this point I have less concern about Bombardier being able to deliver the remaining trains (501 being a possible wildcard) than about Metrolinx being able to install their equipment into the trains we already have.

Do we know that it is Metrolinx' equipment? I thought there was speculation that RoW found another supplier with all of the Metrolinx heel-dragging going on.

Would installing the specialized equipment have taken less time had it been installed at the time of vehicle assembly or was it always going to be done at the end?

It is not Metrolinx’ equipment. ML failed to provide the equipment they said they would... so the Region had to scramble to come up with their own. That’s why the hole in the dash took so long to fill.

It would have if the equipment was already specified and ordered before vehicle assembly began
