In Montreal, the trains from the 1960s and 1970s could mostly get to the next station when the power failed - presumably the technology has advanced since then.
Really? I lived there for 30+ years and never saw this myself.

What happened when you were in the metro when the power went out? Did you have to walk out?Really? I lived there for 30+ years and never saw this myself.

If anyone is interested, the first Alstom Citadis train has been produced for Ottawa's LRT. Check out the sky-rise cities thread. http://skyrisecities.com/forum/forums/transportation-and-infrastructure.452/
Unlikely.interesting shape....maybe if Alstom ever wins a contract for TTC they can build their vehicles in Ottawa?
Unlikely.
The Ottawa vehicles are only being assembled in Ottawa, and the assembly plant is going to become the Maintenance and Storage facility. Once 2018 hits, there will be nowhere in Ottawa to assemble anything.

Last car arrival was February 10. This is starting to look very grim indeed.
It's only the 4th of March. If we haven't seen one by the ides of march then it's time to worry. I think the only hiccup in getting them quickly at this point will be CP picking up the flat cars either at Bombardier or the yard in Toronto.
Why the end of March? That will be two months between deliveries?
