Well, did you read my (lenthy) post a couple of posts ago? Everybody else in the world (i.e. Cities who consider themselves international and" in the game") seems to recogize their benefit; why shouldn't we?

Ah noctis, noctis, hopefully indeed And hopefully, something interesting to look at on the interior as well, like LCDs, instead of your neigbour puking on the floor.

With respect, I don't think that's quite right, Enviro. While the TRs may still have the station locator LED cards above the entranceway, any picture, representation, olr mock-up of the new cars that i've seen (and I'm dying to see the actual, as-built ones) show the LCD, or TV-type, montor...

Hey Josef, welcome. The delay has now been blamed on the subway door company having recently gone bankrupt, so no one seems to know for sure. Giambrone said "in the next few months", and the consensus here amongst the chaps (who all really just guessing) seems to be in Q2 or Q3 of this year...

Hey noctis, why would it be any weirder than seeing CP24 on the platforms as we do. Aren't you bored to tears on the subway? Have you tried to read a book or newspaper while standing in rush hour trying to hold on for dear life? Lol I would welcome something dynamic to watch for my 20+...

Ha ha, lol; good one Enviro! You're right, it is a bizzare thread. At least someone has a sense of humour here and doesn't take themselves or this topic too seriously. Say, Enviro, what's your take on the possibility of LCD monitor screens being placed within the light boxes of the new...

Noctis, of course your question is highly relevant to this thread, and andomoan knows it (or should). It just bugs his small brain that he doesn't have the answer for you, and so his fragile ego makes him level an ad hominem attack at you instead (i.e. schollyard bully)

Noctis, disregard ando, and don't apologize to him. He's just a nasty pri.. He just sent me a very nasty, gratuitous private message, name calling and everything... I guess you gotta feel sorry for a pathetic guy like that, with nothing better to do.. He sounds like the poster boy for the...

I'm with Noctis; i don't really care aout the three-chime Sesame Street thingy, i just want delivery of the damn cars (that were promised in '09.) Trivia note: all you chaps who LOVE the three chimes- i"ll bet you can't remeber what sound preceded it on the older cars... BTW why haven't...

Yikes are we getting desperate! These are pics of GO train cars. Hey, this is a forum for TRs. Let's get back to it. Now, Ando, do you have any good pics of the interior showing a good perspective of the LCD monitors planned for the TRs? Not too close-up. I wanna see how they look head...

Sounds like the TTC, all right. Yayyyy, aren't we great? Years delayed and (probably) way over budget, but HERE WE ARE! TAA DAAAA! I will check in periodically here as you suggest, 12, thanks. Not to be insulting / disrespectful or anything to this site or you swell chaps, but does...

Will we get a chance to board or visit the pototype?

Yes, thanks 12, i saw that one from that guy's grouping of shots, and i guess its the best we have. I was hoping for a better shot, maybe a head-on (but not too close) perspective. Kind of you to be so patient / persistent for me. What's your best guess on delivery of the first group of new...

I don't care what any of you say....no one can seem to point me to a good perspective / placement (not an extreme close-up!) of the intended LCD display screens...i guess none exist. Oh well.

Well said, 12! Thanks again for the link which you kindly provided before. I know the mock-up car these pics are from; I went and saw it myself when it was at Davisville about 3 years ago. A lot can change in 3 years! Furthermore, I find the (only) picture of the LCD screen in this guy's...

But it appears they are installing the LCD screens on the new TTC cars to come ("in a couple of months" - per Giambrone last night On the Rocket), right? So if anybody has any definitve (i.e., final design / actual installation - not cartoony - mockups) photos of such i'd love to see 'em.

well, i think they are going to have lcd screens too, at least i hope so. It would be nice to have something interesting to watch for my 25 + minute ride for once, right?

lol, yeah that was the worst! Like, leave us alone and go back to the burbs, idiot! Say, what do you think of the LCD discussion?

I thought On the Rocket was terrible, and boring, except for the priceless pic of the sleeping ticket taker!

LCD screens I think that's apples and oranges. On the GO, it's a much more pleasant ride. Seats for all, easier to read, or receive signals on personal devices, or look out of doors, as opposed to very rider-inhospitable environment of the subway. I would welcome looking at CP24 while...
