Hey, that light isn’t double red!
That's setting an extremely low bar. In addition, some of the most serious issues that have plagued this line--like the deficiencies in the columns--have absolutely nothing to do with COVID.Controversial opinion: considering covid, the Valley line isn't really that late. Compared to many other transit infrastructure projects in North America we're doing well and relatively on schedule. No cost overruns is also very good.
Thank you for being positive on this thread. I think the tardiness of Transed is just something to avoid fixating on at this point lol. shit happens.Controversial opinion: considering covid, the Valley line isn't really that late.

So just because it's not as bad as the rest of the projects going on we have to accept something 3 years late with multiple boondoggles along the way? What happened to holding providers accountable? Wow....Controversial opinion: considering covid, the Valley line isn't really that late.

I don't live in Edmonton anymore (boo!) and I don't contribute anything because I don't know enough, but my first impression of this picture was that including some shirtless (?) guy who can't pull his pants up might not be leaving the best impression.
Toronto is in the same boat to with the Eglington Crosstown as well. Even the Finch West line that was supposed to be have different LRT vehicles because Bombardier wasn't budling them fast enough has even seen delays and I'm not even sure if the have all of the trains yet either. Most of the delays in Toronto were to the ones for the Streetcar network because of some issues with the frames coming from a plant in Mexico.It's amusing to note that it was FIVE years ago this month that the city received its first LRV from Bombardier, and still not a single revenue passenger has been carried. Even more hilariously, worries were expressed at the time that production delays at Bombardier (which had affected multiple projects in Toronto) might pose a challenge to operation of the Valley Line.
But someone will come and say that it's the design's fault.Some people just like being stupid.
Saw car 1001 in testing from around the shops headed south to millwoods yesterday afternoonI wonder if work is stopping with the smoke.
