It's conceivable that there's a totally different protocol here for the programming, since it's running as a "railway" for part of the line - something they didn't have to do for the FLEXITY Outlook LRV's for Toronto. You'd think Bombardier would try to defend themselves by pointing out something like that, but maybe they're bound not to by some kind of legal agreement.
What's disappointing, just watching the news now, is that the politicians knew the first train wasn't fully operational. They only got it to see if if would fit into the storage facility (I guess Home Hardware ran out of tap measures). They should have told us that when they got the train. We were all under the impression was that they got this LRV to test on our tracks.
Oh well.....
