the h6 there looks like it has like leather seats... did they take all those off or change them cuz all the h6s ive been on have the red felty type stuff on the seats
WAIT! I JUST HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS RECENTLY. I TAKE THE RIP PART OF THE SRT BACK! THEY ARE GONNA UPGRADE THE LINE TO HANDLE SUBWAY CARS! Or was it Mark II cars? But anyways, its gonna be extended and we are still gonna have the world's first ICTS system right here in our city! HALLELUJAH!
all H-series will retire by 2013. THe T1 will all be on the Sheppard and Bloor Line. The YUS will operate TRs, the system's new subway trains ***sniff***
As for teh Scarborough RT, RIP cause it gonna be a part of the future Scarborough Malvern LRT. Imagine that, the world's first ICTS system (Our system, in Toronto) is going down after the 2015 Pan American Games. When that happens we need to have a funeral for that.
There's one difference between the H4 and H2 interior which is the longer seat by the window. You can see at 1:27 that the seat where the woman in the orange is sitting is longer and made for 3 people rather than 2 like the trains we have now.
Well done video. I'm going to miss the H5s for their distinct sound when they start up and before they stop at each station. They only thing about the H5s is that they cannot accommodate the amount of people that take the subway everyday, during rush hour, like the T1s can.
I've been traveling on the subway, since I was very young, so I remember the Gloucester trains, the H1s and the H2s, but the T1s are my favourite as well, since they are very spacious and I like the layout of the interior.
Those red tamper-proof seats are from the late 90s, I think. I know during the 80s, the H4s had individual seats hard edges but plush cushions on the seat and back. But they were constantly being vandalized by stupid kids.
Those H1s were running well into the 90s, and maybe into the early 00s, but I could be wrong there. I would occasionally see them during rush hour, but not off peak hours. I don't remember if they were retro-fitted with air con like the other Hawkers that are still running today.
@308813062 T1s are great. The fact that the doors are wider are the best feature. The only negative thing is there isn't a bar or pole in the middle for shorter people like in the earlier trains.
The H1's and H2's were all around until 2000. The H3's, which were experimental cars, were converted back to H2's in the '80s. The H1's and H2's should have been around the time you were born.
TR's are my favorite now, way better than T1's

The T1s'motor is the Bombardier MITRAC, same as the TRs. I expect the TRs to have the same startup sound as the T1.

I hate the red seats in the H6 trains now they look ugly.

I wonder how it will be if UTDC and Bombardier didn't take over ?

@cumberj001 Hawker Siddely would still have produced the TR but with a different design and different motor.

The H1's retired in 1999, and the H2's retired in 2002.

That is a wonderful video I wish I was born around the time that the H1's and H2's and H3's were in service to see what they were like.

The H1's and H2's were all around until 2000. The H3's, which were experimental cars, were converted back to H2's in the '80s. The H1's and H2's should have been around the time you were born.
