Thanks for the review, kinda follows my thoughts. Wondering if anyone here has tried to move a wheelchair or super suv style baby stroller between the aisles of seats, doesn't look possible

How many cars in total, and how many spares. Iirc, we will not be able to have full 2 car trains, some were going to be only 1 car

Excellent points about the visibility and open feeling on the new tram line. I'm really liking the Churchill connection and hope the city has the fortitude to keep it and the new line properly protected and welcoming. The cell service is a plus, rather embarrassing about the current state of...

Me too, looks great in these shots...

Didn't notice anything happening from downtown all the way along the line to Roper Road, nothing at all

Nice to hear that the cables were replaced, now how about the reason they corroded, exposure to the elements, so naturally I'd hope the vaults/boxes etc. where the exposure occurred were also replaced. Interesting thought, when the line is eventually turned over to the city in say 30 years...

Couple of work trucks on the elevated trackway over coronet/argyll. Didn't see any LRV's out

My thinking is that they are putting on the miles, as iirc each car/LRV must have X km on them

And where do you get that idea, expand and continue to the next, where does 20 years and higher cost come from?

But of course, that's expected, so move the utilities, do the lights, THEN there is track and roadway work one right after the other, and it's only torn up 1 time, not 3 or more. Personally they should have been extending west in stages, to McEwen, to 124th, to 142nd, 156th, the miz and west ed...

Really don't understand why they don't do everything at once, utilities, tracks etc. as they already know what is going where, Instead of these multiple projects done multiple times on the same stretch of road. As for placing bets, I'll go with some large concrete structure just discovered in...

Thank you, hard to believe it's 6 years already

Where/when was this taken? Davies station?

Not exactly correct, there was a choice, federal money via 3P or go your own way without federal money. In hindsight, with the city involved, we're probably at the same point in the process

Saw car 1001 in testing from around the shops headed south to millwoods yesterday afternoon

I'll agree with you, the "standards" that should have been in place seem to have been ignored until too late, who actually monitors that, seems to me the city should have kept an eye open, as we know how corners tend to be cut. I'm really interested in these cables oxidising, from what I saw...

And yet Harper did not write the specifications, nor did he write the the tenders, nor did he select the companies to be accepted, nor did he select the sub-contractors. That was all on city administration (except the subs) Let's look at the walterdale bridge, not a p3, no harper, but mega...

Interestingly, the Bombardier cars were the only thing on schedule (even allowing for car 1001 to be returned to the factory and redelivered). People seem to forget that the city (administration as council knows nothing) is the party who set the standards, wrote the spec's and issued tenders...

Glad to see the murals are on schedule. Rather interesting that when all attention was on the pylons, nobody noticed the cables being pulled/worked on in the Bonnie Doon area. How long are they actually designed to last?

Well Dunno, accessing the Internet for your information is part of the problem, after all, the Journal would probably be taken as accurate, and well, the 5th Estate doesn't really investigate or even ask questions anymore, doubt they'd know how. Add in government financial support and anything...
