Oh I was not aware of this! Like I said, I actually like it, but I am biased towards anything "DB-esque". I find it interesting that in the renderings of the future stations, they used the same livery + trains visuals, as the ones for the Confederation line do not even use a Citadis Spirit model, nor the full double-trains.

 

For a concept livery, definitely scores well with me, but if they have more options down the road, I hope we'll get a peak at them!

I like that it maintains the red with white stripe identity of the Trillium Line trains (borrowed from DB, of course ?) but also gives the maple leaf more prominence compared to the simple white maple leaf they integrated with the white stripe on the LINTs. I personally hope they go with it, or at least something similar.

I'm almost certain they'll swap out the OC symbol on the front for the City of Ottawa logo though!
