So if 504 was supposed to be delivered first and they are using 503 in the showcase, why not ship 504?
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

That would be a fantastic question for the Region, I think!

Have all the LRV operators been hired yet? Do they work for Grandlinq or the region?

I think they will be employees of Keolis, one of the GrandLinq partners.
I have checked their website occasionally, but have never seen anything, but support and HR positions being posted.

One LRT-related position that would be a Regional hire is fare inspectors. One of the few things Grandlinq isn't contracted to handle.

504 loaded on a flatbed, from the Facebook group.

You just stole KevinT's thunder. He's driving home right now - please let him post when he's back, and has the rest of his photos to share.
But yes, 504 is loaded and ready to ship. Eat that, naysayers!

The vehicle is still a full year late from the original schedule (December 2016) and it is still going miss the 5th moved deadline of November 2017.

Was referring specifically to those who were hung up on this Monday media event thing.

I called arrival at Lancaster yard on Dec 2nd. Not far off.
How long did it take to ship last time?
11-30-2017, 11:13 PM
I believe 502 was loaded Sept 25 and unloaded Oct 3; so 9 days.
Depends how close they can load it to the actual shipping date.

The local switcher for Millhaven only runs 3 days a week so when this one gets picked up is up in the air. |
