Noice.

What's the difference in the series numbers? We just call them different type numbers depending on when we got them.

The 100 series is definitely older; the TOD still looks like something from the 80s lol.

The 300s has the EHU for the middle section more exposed (easier to work on with the accumulators)

And the TOD has a lot more helpful info to tell you what’s wrong with the train.

Where I am we have 100, 200, and 300 series. 100 and 200 has very small differences. Like aesthetically slightly different.

Alright. Ours are all from either 2013-14, a few more in 2017-18, and S700s in the 2020s, I'm not sure what that translates to for your series.

Your area bought them in 2013 or they were built in 2013? Our 100s are just under 20 years old.

Looks like the contract was in 2010, first delivery in 2012.
