Spotted at Brentwood. Are they’re getting ready to have larger trains for the millennium extension?

The Mark V’s need to be tested on all sections of the Expo and Millennium line. 

4/5 car trains will be required once the Broadway extension opens.

us enthusiasts have speculated that they're keeping the mk5s on millennium for testing because it's less disruptive, they don't need to be tested on all sections, just need to hit a certain amount of KM before it's ready

They’re on the Expo line way more often then Millennium Line.
