ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Oktoberfest can/should be a great opportunity to show off LRVs at every occasion.

Wow, tough crowd. 

You would have found it anyway, I’m sure...

Forgive my late evening snark, I should have realized a single councillor is not responsible for Ion's publicity.

Does he have a special role compared to other regional councilors with regards to ION? Or is he just super involved/invested?

I finally saw an LRV today, crossing Northfield headed towards Conestoga Mall. The arms came down long before it reached the crossing, then it raced off up Northfield and was stopped by the lights at the next intersection long enough I caught up with it again.

I'm just going to call in sick for work and wander around till I see one. At this rate it won't be until the grand opening that I FINALLY see one in all it's glory!

It seems like I see them a few times a week, near the R&T Park. I saw one at the UW station today when I was out at lunch time.

The promotional tem is hoping to have one available to tour at a weekend event soon.

So I saw on the news that the traffic signals on Courtland by the dealership are still bagged. Wonder what's the delay? 511 was unloaded two weeks ago and hasn't been heard from since. Wonder what's up with that? Last report said 502, 503, 504 would be ready late Sept/early Oct, 10 days into October and no news to be heard! IMHO we will not start in December, lol

PS : Wonder when the next monthly report is coming out? After the election?

Thank you.

Still bagged because the expropriation stuff is still ongoing between dealership and Region.

512 is on the way.

Fully expecting March-April 2019 announcement shortly after election.

Announcement? Re phase 2?

When I first read your message I was like, opening got bumped to march or April?!?!

Has 512 shipped? If so when? This is the first I heard of that.

Likely after the election. Though unsure if people actually would care, or even know what's happening. We WRC people are a unique bunch.
