The tracks at the Mount Dennis Maintenance and Storage Facility is complete, the overhead just needs to be powered up and the first light rail vehicles (already finished at the Bombardier plant) delivered. So they can test by moving them (plural) around the facility.

So, then they could technically test the LRVs ( once delivered ! ), at the Mount Dennis MSF.

I'm sure this has probably been said already but I am new and am still catching up with things, what colour are the vehicles going to be?

Its kind of unknown at this point the two prototypes are grey and white but metrolinx previously was promoting them in green and white.

Oh man that sucks, is there any chance of them being orange?

Why orange this isn't Boston where every line is a different clour.

The only vehicle so far that has a line specific clour scheme is line 3 tge srt. I just don't get why its a big deal what clour something is going to be 2 years before its even completed anything can change between now and then.

Why green is a legitimate question, considering the new Metrolinx branding.
I'd like them to be red, personally.

Okay, but Metrolinx’s green is hideous
I am thinking Grey. Nothing is offensive or politically motivated about grey.

All joking aside it is not uncommon to associate the line colour with the stations or the vehicles.
In Budapest the green line is the HEV which has green vehicles. All streetcars are yellow and listed on the map as yellow routes. Buses are blue and listed as blue on the maps.
In London, each line has a different colour scheme for their stations. The Bakerloo has brown railings in their stations, the Met has purple and the Overground has orange everywhere for exmaple.
I think in Londons case it is more for wayfinding but the fact remains it does help and brings purpose to a colour scheme.
