So we've had a delay to the date that they would announce the date. How far down this rabbit hole can we go...will they be cagey on talking about when they might talk about the launch date?
*sigh*....
Weren't we promised monthly updates about 16 months ago?

Just heard on the radio that a train left Fairview, so whatever the hurdle was they've cleared it.

I think this shows that individual peoples' efforts can matter in an organization. GrandLinq used to have a comms person. Then he got hired away. And they don't seem to have replaced him, so instead we get no comms.

I was hoping to post about that first.
Anyway did my morning errands, 6:15am train left Fairview, at about 7:55 two stopped and left at the same time from GRH in opposite directions. Heading back south i saw one at Waterloo square then another one at Allen station. Lastly saw another one leave Fairview at 10:25.

I did mention yesterday that they were doing testing between Mill and Fairway. As for the hurdle, they were doing some signals work south of Mill crossing

Much different from the original 501 livery?

I followed up and asked Galloway if the service start date announcement would also be coming on May 8, and he replied "TBD".

The GRT branding on the middle segment is a bit different - it was originally just the words stretched all the way across, now it's the GRT logo on one side and the words on the other.
There were also small GrandLinq/Keolis logos near the end doors, don't see them here.

I think it looks better with just the GRT logo and not the text.
