Curiosity piqued even further now. One wonders what those mystery parts are and who the supplier is? The failure to provide has (allegedly) led to a shipment of only 59 vs 70 cars. So a reduction of what...$50 million in revenue for FY 2017. Like to be a fly on the wall during that conversation...

Agreed but I am not trying to say they are stockpiling completed cars. I am saying they need to to ship more now. In other words, seven in Feb, seven in March, but also six more in January. In order to do that, they need to have a constant stream of cars moving through the plant, taking into...

Lets assume 4460 and 4461 are December builds, January deliveries. Not sure about 4462. It makes me wonder how long it takes to actually build one car from start to finish. Shipping one every 4 days does not mean it takes only 4 days...I get that. I'm saying if it takes 28 days and you are...

That makes sense. Thanks.

Thank you for the update. I know this subject has been brought up but I want to ask again. How long does it take for the transporter cars to make the round trip TB-Tor-TB? I thought it was about a week for each leg, not including offload time. If that is approximately correct, we could expect...

Thanks for the heads up. Was hoping to see news of #63-65 by now. Wondering if BBD will ship any more in January to try to catch up. Or perhaps they will think their commitment of three is sufficient and will now start stockpiling for Feb.

Can anyone give an update on cars? Is #62 here and in testing? Are any more in transit ex Thunder Bay at present?

If we assume or accept that 4462 was largely built in December, then BBD delivered 13; but built 16 cars in the three months Oct, Nov, Dec, 2017. There are still three cars unshipped for the 65 committed on the schedule, yet not re-assigned to a new time slot. I am assuming that BBD did not want...

I think I saw a post here confirming arrival of 4461 and a possible photo of 4462 being delivered. Anyone know if anything else is in transit or even ready for shipment at this point? We will be half way through the month on Monday. Anthing less than 4468 at least built by Jan 31 means their...

There are several issues at play here. Let’s assume 4462 has arrived in the city now. There are 98 weeks remaining in the current schedule, including the first week of November/2019. (Which I am convinced was added as a placeholder. More cars will eventually be rescheduled for the last two...

Although Bomardier did not meet the revised target of 35 cars for 2017, they also did not issue yet another schedule to account for the missing ones and reassign a due date for them. So technically, the still current schedule would mean they would need to ship #68 by end of January to be back...

I think you may be using the November 2017 version of the spread sheet for the updated projections for the balance of 2017. This does not reflect the actual shipping dates or quantities. I've been using this web site for reference...

Four in October, three in November and six in December is thirteen, not sixteen. That brings them up to #59. If you wish to count 60 and 61 as December as well, then you have fifteen. But you can't count them twice. Under those circumstances we start January count at #62. Bombardier would need...

This January will be the best opportunity they have to catch up, as the original target was only three. If they do that then maybe they have a chance. If you look at the remaining schedules month by month, for the most part they average 7 per month. The numbers jog back and forth a bit but six...

Sounds like a clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Lol.

This from the link in the Rick Leary story above: In an email Friday, a spokesperson for the company insisted it remains “on track to deliver all 204 streetcars by the end of the original contract deadline.” I'm glad Mr Leary has called out Bombardier on their nonsense. You cannot be "on...

3 per week? Thats 156 per year give or take. Pretty ambitious if they could pull that one off. Again time will tell.

I think they are psychologically preparing the TTC for an extension into 2020. They have added an extra month (November) to the 2019 run. Yet they only would be building 1 car in tbat month. I find it hard to believe they can't find a bit of slack in the remaining 22 months of the contract to...

Bombardier has made an effort to downplay their ineptitude. Most of their discussion centres on the total shipped, not the yearly quotas. If we do a comparison of the total cars shipped, they are currently short 11 out of the 70 that should have been on hand on Dec 31/2017. That’s a 15.7%...

This is my first post so I am backtracking a bit on some issues a week or two ago. One of the reasons that was given for failing to ship the 63rd car by 12/31 was a shortage of parts. Anyone know what those parts would be? If its a windshield or something small like that, fair enough. If its a...
