Don't like these two shades of green together at all!
And the passenger train has a different shape to it!

I think it's the same, but the bottom 1/8th of the coach is painted black, so it blends in with the ground and it looks like the bottom is level from the front to back.

So much for "GO Green". I guess we are going for Web Green and Web Lime now...

I saw a GO bus painted in a similar scheme.

Oh no... don't tell me they are re-liverying the fleet in this...

There are two running around in the new scheme, 2328 and 2330. There will probably be more to follow, and the add-on order for 40 double-deckers will likely be delivered in a version of the new scheme as well.
It appears that is the plan. Cab cars will have a variation of the scheme opposite to the locos.

The GO Bus paint schemes aren't too pretty either:

I'm with SGHA, I like the new train colours and design. People actually find the colours revolting? Maybe if they were repainted brown and yellow.

The new colour look good to me. My first reaction was negative as well having grown accustomed to the old colour, but already I now look at the older trains and it feels out of date. My biggest complaint is that the positioning of the GO logo on the locomotive isn't centered at the same height as the logo on the train cars.

I don't mind the new colours, but I'll have to see the paint scheme in person first.

Given GO's obsession with obsession with parking and attracting drivers, they should have painted their buses white, grey and black. Those are the colours car owners like the most by far, after all.

Well, there's not really anyone left to run any extra trains.
They do a bunch hiring since Indy weekend?

What I don't understand is why the Georgetown train in that schedule runs so slow. Brampton - Union takes an hour compared to 50 minutes during normal service.

Maybe they are allowing extra time due to a heatwave we may have that weekend like today slow orders?? Maybe work being schedule that weekend in the corridor? 10 minute not going to kill you.
Maybe GO was able to do some arm twisting to get the extra crews for those runs?
I think you will have more people using the other lines for this event than the Indy, considering how many empty seats were in the stand that weekend. You will get a hell a lot more people that weekend, especially on parade day than all 3 days for the Indy. It wouldn't be a close race at all.
There a lot going on behind the scene that vegeta_skyline cannot talk about here.

Never said it would kill me....just wondered why there was a 20% increase in travel time.
You're probably right that this event will draw more riders......but Indy weekend affects all traffic from the west end and anyone doing anything in the city faces that......would be a nice public service if rail was available to bypass that.
