If you've seen the mockup recently, it is wearing the latest iteration of the livery. In my opinion, what they had originally was better.
Pretty much my thoughts; plus the widening of the green stripe. It all just kind of looks clumsy.Oh no - what have they changed? When you say "lately", how recently do you mean?
It showed up in Hamilton a few months ago and had some extra stripes and so on and if that's what you're referring to - yeah, it's awful compared to the original, simple scheme.
Edit: Yeah, here are some really great shots by mdrejhon showing the new scheme: http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/thread...of-hamilton-planned.6462/page-38#post-1046915
It's the silver coming down along the windscreen, how it interfaces/terminates inside the green transverse stripe that my OCD just goes insane over. I can't stand it.
The first 7-car Freedom sets! Nice!
I wonder if bbr revealed to them and if Edmonton knows of their latest blunder with TTC.... Kind of surprised considering that Edmonton and Calgary have a good long relationship with seimens

Unlikely; all the fixturing and tooling to build Freedom is in NA. If they were coming from Europe they'd have bought FLEXITY 2.
Neat, I read somewhere they could be offered as 7 cars, but this is the first real confirmation!The first 7-car Freedom sets! Nice!
You make it sound like they're two different products. They're not.
That said, you are most certainly right that the tooling and supply chain will already exist in North America. While it wouldn't stop them from building them in Europe, it is, if nothing else, a check mark in the box for constructing them at Thunder Bay.
