| ![](butgo2611_side2_gocc309.jpg) The new paint scheme does not have the coach/cabcar numbers on the sides, 'B' end. Under some lighting conditions it is also very difficult to see the coach/cabcar numbers and 'Metrolinx' because of the new paint scheme contrasts; bulkhead numbers white EXCEPT: 2402 and 2407 below
![](butgo2407_black.jpg) TWO Coaches: 2402 (2 pixs) & 2407 (1 pix) repainted in new paint scheme has clearly visible BLACK bulkhead numbers both A and B ends * most coaches white here - example, click: GO2854 - note how hard the white numbering is to read | ![](butgo2540go2545.jpg) Note the difference in the coach number font/size after repaintings. The number size/font, like on 2545, is quite common on all Series VIII (2700s), Series VIIII (2800s), and on new paint scheme coaches/cabcars except the newly repainted-new paint scheme on the 2400s |
