I wonder how adopting the same paint theme will affect advert revenues. The MKIs are often plastered with ads, but never are the MKIIs. Will this new scheme preclude future advertising on MKIs?

It's probably a drop in the bucket in terms of how it'll affect their ad revenues.
It's nice, but the bottom line is inside those cars it's cramped! What will it look like on the inside?
I really do like the "Expo" colour scheme as its "legacy" and would be nice to keep the scheme on the originals until there end. We are keeping the green station look, so why not the original colour scheme?
Judging from the condition of advertising that I see on busses and skytrain cars these days, I don't think that they really care that much about vehicle advertising anymore.
If the Mark I trains are getting the Translink 2.0 ivory, will the Mark II first generation also be updated from "Translink 1.0" to "Translink 2.0" ivory?
No that was my spelling it wrong. When they do pain the original Mark II's, I hope they add in the LED displays at each end and maybe even the LED station info…oh now they may as well turn them into a Mark II second generation.
Why would they paint them before the scheduled rebuild?
It says only painting 4 of them to "test" the paint scheme. Probably to see if it viable for the rest and if anyone will do it when the time comes to refurbish the cars.
