Six people were killed when an OC Transpo bus collided with a Via Rail passenger train on Sept. 18, 2013, and dozens of others were injured.

This Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the incident.

"Our condolences to the families and loved ones," said Julie Leroux, a TSB spokesperson.

"We know they want to get the answers as soon as possible, and they will. The report is supposed to be released by the end of the year, so by then they will know what really happened," Leroux said.

In July the agency said a draft of the final report had been submitted to the City of Ottawa and Via Rail, which is standard procedure.

The city and Via were able to comment on the accuracy of the technical data, but didn't get to see the report's conclusions or findings, the TSB said at the time.
