The city has a potential fix in place that could get the Metro Line running at full speed, but it won't be ready in time to meet the latest deadline for Aug 31. The city hoped to have the trains running at full 50 km/h speed by the end of the month, but the software fix wasn't installed until Saturday. Once those issues are resolved, the city, Thales, and the contractor and RSC will work toward running the trains at full frequency, every two-and-a-half minutes. He asked if the city will at some point have to consider throwing out Thales' signalling system and start over. "I'd hate another missed deadline to be the next big story," she said, given the work by city staff to ensure the project runs safely and reliably.
