Luckily we got there early today. Dutton was an absolute zoo when we left!
It was a good time, and they were handing out plenty of swag! I hope they post the video of the drive down the track, complete with the "Canadian Table Hockey Champion" in DTK!

Also at the event - the platform smartcard validator, and the new bus farebox:
Here's a bit of a puzzler - the only traffic signal that hasn't been reactivated (in the entire system, to my knowledge) is King and Green streets. The GRH lights are working, the Central Fresh lights... but this one is still temporary-posted as a 4-way stop.
