That video of the FLIRT released a short while ago had “Metro” branding above the window on both sides of the train. The one in that image has a first class sign in its place, so it seems likely that the Metro tri-modes are going to be all standard class, and that diesel trains with a first...

Oh yeah, of course! I forgot about the roundtrip! Also, could that potentially mean that they double up the services going to Central, and keep the Bay ones as singles so the street running services aren’t too long? I’m pretty sure only about half of them are doubled up at present anyway, so I...
