Just want to highlight this (and maybe add to the confusion), since I just noticed this project map from 2023 appears to consider the Toronto Rocket and Vancouver SkyTrain Metropolis projects.

Picture vehicles reportedly for The Boys spinoff Vought Rising last year.

These blocks can be spec’d with planters and seating, as well as different finishes. We’re just cheap asses.

If you take the UP Express, you know that’s a lie. Granted it’s harder in the rail corridor, but it looks likes it’s only been cleaned once in the past 10 or 11 years.

Between an aging fleet and retiring a whole bunch of buses (around 100) during the pandemic, they are short of equipment.

Another excellent operator today, this time on the 510 to The Well. Passing traffic on Queen’s Quay and a bit on Spadina. Same attitude as the operator above with turns and switches.

CRRC built two pilot cars. They weren’t 100% finished, but they had enough issues that SEPTA felt they were unacceptable.

Something like SEPTA’s CRRC bilevels where the order was cancelled without receiving a single car.

A direct connection to the GO network would be more convenient to more people. The Port Lands doesn’t have that.

Well that’s not exactly true. The Bombardier (and now Alstom) Bilevel has been wildly successful. As has been the ICTS/Innovia Metro. You can look at all the previous rolling stock for Toronto and Montreal too. Some outliers in Toronto with teething problems and a bit of a dud with the H6, but...

These will be six-car trains that can easily be broken down into sets of two. Open gangway throughout with egress at both ends. This supplier has been mentioned being involved with the TTC: https://www.railwaygazette.com/automated-train-gangway-coupling-system-to-be-tested-in-toronto/67487.article

When the new LFLRV livery came out on the buses, I spoke to someone in the design department and the TTC was very keen on leaning very much into the red in their branding. So I think there's a really good chance the red stays on the train. Just noticed the interior has a green colour palette...

Citytv reports it was a sidewalk plow. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/15/go-transit-reporting-delays-after-via-rail-train-crashes-into-snowplow-in-scarborough/

New images of the new subway cars released. These are pretty nice. Thank God the initial design was just a place holder. It looked homely and outdated. Especially compared to rolling stock in places like Paris and Lisbon...
