A really random observation:
At one of the many underground shopping centres in the Montréal RESO (I believe it was Eaton Centre next to McGill Station), there was a lottery vending machine, for which I have two questions:
1) How does it check id?
2) Why is this the only one I found?
3) Why???

So that's the end of the 455 era.
It was my local train for many years, into Waterloo and back out again, but all good things must come to an end.

This is disappointing yet also completely expected.
It also makes no sense. No other train operator slaps their flag colours onto their trains. Germany doesn't, France doesn't, China doesn't. The only exception from Europe I can think of is Switzerland, but they managed to keep their livery simple.
