Yes well Ellis Don is not the contractor for the extension so it is hard to project the the same time line for the construction

Edmonton radial railway was in existence for 43 years from 1908-1951. The Capital Line opened in 1978 and next year will be it’s 47 anniversary. Just saying.

And I was one of the last people to ride on it -- only four years old at the time.

The website says 2025 major construction starts, 4-5 years for construction, then testing and commissioning, so sounds like a 2030-31 opening date.

The procurement includes a requirement to provide 3 examples of existing LRV models in service. While this can include low floors, there will be a preference for vendors who can demonstrate that they have delivered a fleet of high floor LRV's of 20 or more vehicles within the past 10 years.
In terms of North America, I believe only Siemens and Kinkisharyo have supplied high floor LRV's in the last 10 years. Breda (Hitachi now) also supplied cars to LA, but they fall outside of the 10 year window. World wide, I'm sure most of these vendors have done high floors in the last 10 years.
