GRT has me pretty convinced of their penchant for risk aversion, and preference for schedules. The ION launch will be a moving target, and it's hard to schedule major updates around that.
I wouldn't be surprised if the only Day 1 change is that the 200 stops running Conestoga to Fairview. Other changes, like Route 7 rationalization, would follow at the next regular seasonal schedule update.
Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe the ION launch date will be set in stone well in advance, and GRT will be able to plan a mid-season update around it.
