Speculation on Urban Toronto has been that the strike caused larger supply-chain issues.
Bombardier seemingly had been getting into a groove with producing the streetcars before the strike hit. There were regular reports from forumers "in the know" about the current state of the vehicles on the production line. Since the strike however, there's been almost no movement. Bombardier has shipped a single vehicle that was substantially complete before the strike (#4004), and little word on the next one (#4005). Car #4006 will be a milestone, because that will be the first car that will have been substantially made after the strike.
