Did they ever actually sign a contract with the Nigerians? Seems like they were discussing it and nothing ever came of it.

With a new TR train arriving at Wilson every couple of weeks or so ... at what point do they run out of space for the new trains?

The Nigerians were here last month inspecting them, its a done deal
Don't worry there is plenty of track space at Wilson prison camp
Plan is as a new TR arrives we give Grenwood a T1 and a H4 train gets retired....there are 6 H4 trains still around
New plan is that the TR should be in service in about 2 weeks......lol

What are our old cars going to be used for in Nigeria? There are no subway systems in the country, though Lagos is working on a light rail project.

That's the one. Our subway cars will be used on their light rail project.
Note, light rail uses a different alloy than heavy rail and this is what they are referring to.

Maybe we should place bets and see who comes closest.

That video has the TTC subway map upside-down and another TTC subway map re-coloured!
It is interesting to see that the so-called "potential undisclosed buyer" might be from Nigeria to be used as light rail vehicles, given that sub-Saharan Africa does not have a true subway system (the Gautrain in South Africa is closer to that of GO Transit).

It was different colors b/c of the BD diversion due to track repairs between St.George and Bloor/Yonge. BD Trains had to go to museum to transfer passengers going from east to west or vise versa.

If you watch this video closely enough (at 0:35), that is clearly not the case. In fact there is a map of another subway system that is recoloured as well. The scene in question is a fake transit control centre. It is interesting to see the TR in that video at the end.

In the video's transit control centre, I think the more complicated map on the left is of the London Underground. I wonder how much they paid to get the rights to use the maps?
