Crazy how despite it being nearly 55 years that the BiLevel was first conceptualized, and yet the overall design of the car has remain relatively changed over the years (atleast for the regular coach type).

The only coach that really received a massive update was Series X, where the shape of the coach changed significantly. You can really see when it’s side-by-side with the Series I coach.

Cool diagrams but it’s hard to see the differences between the series. Any more diagrams you’ve made?

Very nice work!

At the risk of sounding pedantic, there are some errors in your numbering, however. Series II is 2100-2155 (not 2000-2169) (source), and you are missing coach 224 from your diagrams (this fell under the Series IV order).

Thanks! I’ll correct the numbers. 224 is there though.

Look at the roof line at the end to see the change. Windows are larger. Even the bottom ends have change as well with the X series

As they get refurbished, do they update the components such as AC units and electrical components? I'm sure that they have gotten a lot smaller in 50 years.

also don't forget about the washroom on the main level now of every coach. The earlier ones used to have one where the operators cab was on the cab cars

It’s not on the main level of every coach, no washroom has ever been relocated. The only one to have two washrooms on both levels was 2499; the Series V prototype coach. The one on the mezzanine has since been removed.

I didn't say that they relocated them i said that they added them to newer designs.

Oh my bad, I misinterpreted “washroom on the main level now of every coach”.
