Second LRT train to begin journey to region next week

More progress on the region’s LRT system, a second ION train will ship out of Kingston next Monday and is expected to be ready to test on the tracks.

The Record reports regional officials expressed their concerns over delays in delivery, during a meeting with Bombardier on Monday. They were told the second vehicle will take about ten days to arrive.

Two more trains are expected to arrive in October, but Regional Councillor Tom Galloway tells the paper GrandLinq will need to do some additional work on the new trains before the system can be tested. A total of 14 Bombardier trains are expected to arrive to complete the project.

The ION is projected to begin running in the spring of 2018.
