And yet the Bi-Level coaches keep rolling off the line from that very same plant with no issue - in fact, all the new cab cars are quietly going into service with no media fanfare - because nobody cares when things go right. And, 98% of the time, they go right.

And let me just reiterate something, because it seems to get lost a lot here (and in the news) - There is absolutely zero reason to believe that our trains are behind schedule, or will be behind schedule. They have not started building them yet. The issues around Flexity Outlook are resolved for TTC's order.
The Thunder Bay plant has four separate production lines. So delays on one line (such as the one building the TTC streetcars) don't necessarily affect the other lines, as canard points out.
