The silver lining, if one looks hard, is that the delay will mean the Trillium Line testing will take place in winter. Failing to make sure the Confederation Line trains worked in winter was one of the damning criticisms of Justice William Hourigan in his report into problems during LRT Stage 1. “As the handover time has slipped it gets us closer and closer to the middle of winter,” Morgan told reporters after the meeting. “Absent sufficient time for training. Absent sufficient demonstration of running the system before winter, we didn’t feel it was appropriate to to push this thing to open on Jan. 15 in the middle of a winter snowstorm. Lets make sure we’re 100 per cent on training. Let’s make sure we’re 100 per cent on the system.
