Looks fast!!
Edit: I didnt realize the video from the tweet was playing on repeat and was thinking, my goodness how many trains are they testing at the same time and why the hell are they so close??

I see that KevinL just retweeted a link to this:

The issues in Ottawa seem extremely familiar somehow.
RE: Ottawa LRT - Canard - 02-14-2019
Ouch!!!

But no matter, I’m sure Metrolinx will still continue to flaunt their new French boyfriend around, saying how much better he is than their hard-working husband who’s just trying to keep a roof over their heads.
RE: Ottawa LRT - Spokes - 02-14-2019
I'm still not sold on the fact that Ottawa's line opens before ours.
RE: Ottawa LRT - tomh009 - 02-14-2019
But is it a fact?
RE: Ottawa LRT - Canard - 02-14-2019
Is what a fact?
Neither line has or has ever had an official opening date. I’m with Spokes!
RE: Ottawa LRT - KevinL - 02-14-2019
Despite my retweet, that story is a bit overhyped - this is a new model from Alstom, but it has a lot of established design behind it. It's still news that there are delays associated with it.
RE: Ottawa LRT - Canard - 02-14-2019
The fact they have so few vehicles available is what’s alarming.
We actually have a higher percentage of our fleet available for testing and training.

Quote: "France-based company Alstom, a member of Rideau Transit Group — the SNC Lavalin-led consortium building the 13-station Confederation Line — is supplying the trains for the project."
Well....what could possibly go wrong?
