ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I honestly don't know - I really hope it's something like that, and not some massive issue with the design of the spiral curves or something like that. It's very interesting that it is only curves that have seen the work so far, and always the outboard rail (although I haven't been by Hayward recently to confirm that).  Although it makes sense if you were going to try and force the gauge to change a little, you'd do it by moving the outboard rail, which is longer, and simpler - since it doesn't have the restraining rail.
