We got a chance to take a look at the Region’s new LRT vehicle at an open house on Saturday.

GrandLinq held the unveiling inside the Region of Waterloo’s Operations, Maintenance, and Storage Facility.

They offered tours of the first ION train which people were able to roam inside of and see.

Bombardier has committed to delivering the remaining 13 ION trains to Waterloo Region by the end of 2017.
