GO 2039 - Last bi-level refurbished by CAD in Montreal - equipped with fabric seat cushions & work tables with a power supply for lap tops. Soon GO will start a refurbishment program on all of the Bi-II cars in one contract. The Bi-I refurbishment was done in two contracts. |
GO 2830 does not have '2830' painted at the B end only (A end okay & bulkheads okay)
(Note: All new paint scheme coaches do not as well, replaced with 'Metrolinx')

Coaches 2002 to 2155 do not yet have door step lights (as of 2016 *see below)

(Note: all 2300s Series IV coaches now non-accessible, redecaled GO Transit) |
All 2500 Series VI coaches have a VHF antenna above door leaf one / a black GPS disc is opposite above door leaf 8
Some point as in this image and others point the opposite way |
GO 2063 B end - Fading coach numbers (0 and3)
GO 2063 is now wearing the new paint scheme (Dec 2017) so her new numbers (A end only none B end) are crisp
GO caboach 209 with new door leaf contrasts with fading classic paint scheme
|
GO 2221 door leaf 4 jammed open and could not be closed manually or automatically - coach taken out of service, door cut out but still used on a morning run/consist less passengers |
GO 2238 hit by vandals with a paint gun |
GO 2034: in 1978 brand new, Province of Ontario and trillium logo, no AEI etc / in 2006: newly repainted, GO Transit now, AEI / in 2014: fading paint |
GO 2059: the majority of coaches (2002 to 2661) still wear the original size
Only a few coaches, like this Series I coach, do not have the coach numbers centered under the windows |
GO 2073: Classic style (Mar 2016) / New paint and coach damage Sept 2016
GO 2073 repaired and NIS (May 2017)
| 
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
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 | 
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 |
GO 2334 in 2006 with Get On The GO, Bombardier logo,

GO 2334 in 2010 with GO Transit | 
GO 2334 struck by vandals in 2014
GO 2334 in 2017
with the smaller numbers (see next panel) | 
GO 2334 removed side numbers shadow newer smaller numbers - A end
... same for B end |
