Celebrate Diwali with GO!

Planning on celebrating with family and friends across the region?

Just curious, does anyone know which car is the one decorated with the Diwali festivities?

At Willowbrook, I noticed two seemingly activated cab cars (judging by the mirrors), being used as midtrain coahes.

The consists appeared to be ready to run though, they had Series X cabs in front and were both paired with a locomotive.

The consist was placed on a Georgetown bound train, here’s what I noted of 251.

I wonder why it's been placed as a coach?

is that mould on the seats? thats prob the reason why. cab is condemned

The blue fabric with a marble like pattern that matches the grey door and grey panels?

 

[T3G]

Yeah, that's what all the seats look like.

Call me crazy, but putting a coach with mouldy seats in a mid-train position hardly seems like a solution.

Fair enough but those seat fabrics are pretty gaudy for today's standards

 

[T3G]

Eh, they're not my favourite, but I prefer them over the Metrolinx green. There is too much green in the "new" branding and most of it is not really in agreeable shades.

 

[Willybru21]

Too much green lmao, that’s a new one. The branding is way better than it used to be

 

[T3G]

The buses and locos look ok, but the BiLevel version of the new scheme is positively dreadful. I have no idea how anyone could have signed off on it or what it actually brought to the table.
