An observation(s) on the new trains

Some observations on the new trains.
OK they very pretty, BUT
The letter is back on top and its much smaller AND every line
letter/number is in RED, whats the point of having a color code system
if you're not going to use it on the trains themselfs?
On trains where the letter/number is larger one can see them from a
distance. On these units you can't, whats more its harder to read the
information on the sides of the cars. It was easier on the older trains
which used the same. Anyway I could never understand WHY they made the
letters smaller over the years in the first place.

That never bothers me, but then I guess I have pretty sharp eyes.

I can't stand the lighting in newer vehicles: intense, hospital-style
fluorescents. I know fluorescent bulbs are cheaper, but how about
toning it down a little bit?

yea, I've never really had a problem with it either, maybe you just have some bad eyes.
