It sure looked like simulated service, a train was making a stop at Charles St Terminal, opening the doors, making the door close sound, then dinging before it got going... Still, I don't know what the max count of simultaneous LRVs out is. Is it more than 4 yet?
I was listening to the radio chatter on Saturday, and after one of the "Attention all LRVs" messages I counted 6 reporting back with acknowledgements. I don't know if they were actually all out on the alignment or not, but it was great to hear!

There was heavy LRT movement yesterday afternoon at Erb and Caroline, but a frequent repetitions in the LRVs used. They must have been short turning (KCI?). I didn't get a chance to keep track of which ones went by, but I kept enough track to recognize a repeat number.

Also on Saturday. I don't know if this matters long term, but the light is programmed wrong here. When the LRT phase ends, Erb gets a green, at least when I was there, that happened every time. This is a problem when the next LRV arrives before Caroline gets a green.

You should tweet or send this to the ION team. Seems important enough to point out?

*shrugs*...I've given up trying to get them to fix signals. There are still ped signals giving priority to cars who wish to crash head long into a retaining wall at Moore St.
I'm more likely to reprogram them myself than bother wasting my time with regional engineers.

Canard seems to have disappeared from these boards (still on Facebook), I'm sure he'd know if they were coming.

They'll be placed atop tall poles, no worries in this case.
Correction, that was in the proposal but in the end they have been placed at ground level. Hmm...

I've just noticed this map on the official site, confirming where bus connections can be made: https://www.grt.ca/en/about-grt/resource...5000px.pdf
In particular, it confirms the Ion LRT will be route 301, and Ion Bus 302. As we knew from the signs that went up, the replacement shuttles during LRT outages are 301R.

So for tomorrow's anticipated big announcement, are they going to either show it live anywhere or have a audio stream? I see they post the meetings on YouTube but I don't know if it's live there. And I can't go in person due to me working till 8.
Edit: when I visit their page in the YouTube app a lot of the meetings show streamed on x time so it looks like they stream them there.
