According to Bombardier spokesman Marc-André Lefebvre, the pilot is in the “final phase of manufacturing” at the company’s Thunder Bay, Ont. That means Bombardier has missed the end-of-August target date that the company said as recently as last month it was on track to meet. Rail manufacturer Bombardier has blown another deadline for the delivery of the first vehicle for Toronto’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT, but the company vows the latest delay won’t affect the opening of the $5.3-billion transit line. The Finch line is also slated to open in 2021, and could be served by the same Bombardier vehicles. Toronto transit users are still dealing with repeated delays to the TTC’s order for a new fleet of Bombardier streetcars.
