Looks distinctly like a toy train off a kids tv programme in a non finished version of LU livery.. I'll pass. Besides, there's not enough doors, the windows are way too small and the front would never actually end up looking like that.

Paul, did you get any pics of the Desire City in the background? That's something I'm far more interested in.. ;)

It's only an artistic impression, but it will look like there are less doors, because the aim is to have more but shorter vehicles than the existing fleets, to allow them to be wider.

There was a fairly detailed article about this train in Rail Engineer earlier this year. See page 40 of the February edition:
