Sorting out the issues that are restricting speeds will take some time but much less time than fixing the ATP system. The two are being handled separately. It's really worth noting that even with the speed restrictions ION meets or exceeds the travel time requirements in the contract.
It does? I thought the travel time requirements consisted of nothing more than the "46 minutes" between the termini, in the baseline service plan. The schedule calls for 45 minutes (northbound), and schedule adherence hasn't seemed great.
Are there more specific travel time requirements somewhere in the contract? Or maybe they're making up speed on parts of the line I'm not taking.
