Nice new rainbow colours, and new, brighter, more cheerful easier to read LED signs with a darkened black background.
Plus I also won't be moaning over those brown rubber bars on top of the transverse seats, they'll be replaced with a silver metal bat on top of the seats. I like the silver bars instead, there were also too many fingernail scratches on the bron rubber metal horizontal bars on top of those seats that looked very unsightly.
The old signs are not LEDs. They are flip-dots. The new signs are LEDs.
If you like the original Breda propulsion sounds the 4Ks will still have them. The 4Ks are not getting rehabbed.
I agree with you about the bars. In fact, the whole interior of the old cars gives a brown impression. I like the cream colored interior of the rehabbed and CAF cars.
To tell you the truth, I won't miss the old 3Ks one bit. I like the rehabbed Bredas much better. At the same time I'm glad they're not rehabbing the 4Ks because that means the legacy of the old Bredas won't fade into the dust completely. I can still get a taste of the old Bredas with the 4Ks.
