New Toronto Rocket (On Display)

[ddiimmee]

when are they being implemented

[et3naltwilight]

Lol. I thought they would make a big change. it basically looks the same to me. Lol, guess that wouldn't matter in the long run since TO riders make the transit so dirty and since TTC doesn't clean up enough. It better work a lot more effectively.

[phillydisco]

I don't understand why they need to have all the cars open from one end of the train to the other. I mean, at least if it's compartmentalized, you don't have to worry about a smoldering fire and smoke, or noxious fumes, filling an entire subway train, it'll be contained to one car. And removing those center poles is a bad idea. Kids will start using skateboards or running up and down half empty trains. And short people will have a little trouble finding something to hang on.

[superyusrie]

@phillydisco True. Maybe they'll rethink when they read your comment. ;P

[adonist7]

uh not the same old red seats... something new!

[superyusrie]

@adonist7 I agree. The seats doesn't look very appealing.

[thewizkid15]

did you see the real train? they unveiled it last month!

[prateek523]

they have these in india, and this one looks exactly the same, when i saw it in cne

[royraymund]

When do they replace the plain T1 train today to this new one.

[ufcpride101]

Keep the camera still geez

[Dj1LL]

look like the same shit to me!

[ttctae]

@KurtisWM Lets Hope This Happens

[transitfusion]

@KurtisWM End of December - Beginning 2011

[KurtisWM]

@transitfusion Sorry, Meant to say they will be on the lines on that date, not in service, but testing. They are now in the subways of Toronto as of yesterday though!!

[raedessam]

now it's 2010 and nothing happen !!!!!

btw,, thxx 4 sharing :)

[HELLOCHEWY2]

@raedessam there coming in november

[DSRvmv111]

does not look geto any more

[sndd0138]

hardly seems worth the investment. all of the "state-of-the-art" improvements could have been made on the existing subway cars. what a waste of money.

[KurtisWM]

@sndd0138 No, the new ones are made out of stainless steel. So thats not true. They have been redesigned from top to bottom, but still, ery similar in appearance

[mars3750]

new cars in 2011 now :(

[dchoubak]

I love the all trains being connected thing. And the signs. Great!

[xxxrocket]

is this why they have no money? and why i have to pay $3 now...pfftt.

[lphead]

Hey, it looks nice, of course not drastically different but that's ok...

[Made0fStone]

wtf? it is the same thing but newer??

i dont see any difference or development on that train man...

[phillydisco]

@Made0fStone If you notice, there's more room for standing, less seats (good luck old people and pregnant moms). The main difference is the ability to move from one train to another because it's open all the way down. I don't know how that will work in the long run if they only have two engines per train, versus now where every car is also an engine (i.e. 6 engines per train).

[tbayeng]

@phillydisco

Oops, all of the trucks (wheelsets) except the very first one and the very last one are powered

[g4tech]

i believe the first trainset is either sitting in the carhouse at wilson yard or waiting to go there at the north toronto yard

[ttcsubway209]

Is it still the same old where the guard opens the doors and the operator drives the train?

[fhg1738]

Wow.. I'm getting seasick.. next time, hold the camera still for a bit!!

[jdgator95]

I second that

[gundamWWW]

I saw this at the CNE last year, it was pretty cool. They have light a display panel up for which stop your at.

The only problem is, if someone lets out gas and farts in one car, it's gonna smell in all the cars.

You can run but you can't hide!

[jamin108]

lol

[WilliamSummerbell]

has anyone else seen the H6 that has was the mockup for the T1? its still in service but looks terrible :S

[toiletholder]

I thought the one that we have now are new. We're still using those un-air conditioned ones with the unseparated bench seats, probably from the 70s. Are the newer ones considered "aging" already?

[SPS148669]

So thats a half completed car, LOL

[WiiGlitchHunter]

these trains are only going to pass on yellow line

[BlGGlE]

At 2:22 , does that say "lol" at the end?

[046547717]

No, it says "St. Clair W"

[HuggleBuns232]

Ohh thats a W.

lol.

[046547717]

hehehe, I know it looked like a "W" for second

[killershot789]

i dk it looks like lol...

[hilfansrock]

are there gonna be any new buses for 2009.. cuz we are almost at 2009

[liloneal15]

the havethe 2008 us with new seats

[BrianEaZy]

I WANTED to SEE this !

I KNEW you would have it !!

<3

[sumokitty23]

It still looks the same. I do like how it's one long tube. If I don't where I'm sitting I could just walk. :) I wish the seats were more cushy, like the older trains.

[pielover1195]

k so when these come into service, and apprently the H4's will get replaced by T1's moving down to the Bloor danforth line

What will happen to the H5's if anything

Anyone know?

[AttitudeStatus]

I heard that these rocket cars will be going on to the University line replacing the H5's & and the H5's will be moving to down to Bloor/Danforth Replacing the retired H4's

[hillcrestG]

wow.... i hate it. :(

i love the current 6 car trains, not 1 tube. and now theres gonna be cameras all over? thats gay.... cant do graff in trains anymore. and cant fight. and nothing interesting will ever happen in them....

it looks TOO futuristic for its time.

im dissapointed...

[canaidol]

yea apparently the windows will be vandal proof :)

[hillcrestG]

thats terrible :(

[mapdark]

That's kind of the point ^^;

[ttcsubwayfan]

What are you talking about? Who wants fights and graffiti and something interesting when they have to worry about their safety?

Yes, I'll agree it's bad, but atleast it's safe.

[greekguy1326]

In your description you said that the new will make its debut in 2010. I thought it was 2009? Thanks for the tour!

[ttctae]

yes i i thought its debut was in 2009 but its in 2010 at least, thats what the ttc says. Check on there website and search toronto rocket at cne and it will tell you 2010 thats were i got the information

[TheAcinNetwork]

@ttctae

Hey its 2010 and they still haven't come out do u know what the delay is

[canaidol]

adam giambrone himself said the first train will arrive in november 2009... so a good year off from now

[Subway261994]

[ttctae]

This is A Mockup It is a Look alike of what A new train would look like but its not an actual Car
