Are the F59PH and the F59PHIs similar mechanically? If yes, I’d rather them fix up the F59PHIs as they’re sleeker looking. Found this model of one in GO livery online:

I know one F59PH was seen in primer at Ontario Northland’s paint shop on September 3rd, likely indicating it was about to be repainted into the MX scheme, but I have no clue whether that was one of the rebuild units, or 560, the unit they sent up to template the other units.

Judging by the green rear headlight it is believed to be 560

Because cab cars are subject to the same 92 day inspection schedule as locomotives.
If you were to follow any other cab car in the system, you would see that the longest that it stays out on the road is 92 days. Unless, of course, it has some sort of issue prior to the completion of that time, and thus requires some other work.

I’ve noticed ever since the November 23 service changes, it seems consists with bike cars now are being used more regularly on other services.
For instance, the 12 car Niagara weekend consists that have bike cars, and the 10 car Georgetown consists that have bike cars, both have been used on midday off peak runs in the past few days.

Why do we need bike cars in the winter? For strollers?

Looks to me that 865 could be one of the units GO might be restoring to full operation, as it seems they may have masked off the windows for repainting.

Is the body fiberglass?

That's not masking.
Only the very end of the nose of the PHIs. The rest is steel.

What’s in the GO bus fleet
Get to know the buses that get you across the expansive GO bus network!

Article explaining GO’s current bus fleet. They have a section about the new MCI D45 coaches.

Do the new GO buses make that annoying "chirping" sound everytime the driver puts their turn signal on?

I'd be surprised if they didn't. IIRC that was an aftermarket addition to GO buses after a Coach Canada driver fatally ran over a pedestrian in Guelph.

Two of the new MCIs went into service for the first time today.
