According to this news article from 2005 (http://www.bombardier.com/index.jsp?...=/en/0_0/press...

2008."

Since it's June now, I wonder if anyone has any updates on what is
happening? Is there a delay?


I wish they'd also make them look a bit more attractive.
Paint them New York Subway silver? give them a bullet train nose?

One of it's nicknames was the toy town railway.
And it looks even more dated now.

Not great for a hi tech part of London (the country/Europe)

And like the thouands of new buses, I dont suppose they'll fit air
conditioning either.
(one for another thread maybe?)
