Hey guys, today I got the chance to catch our new métro trains MPM-10, also known as Azur being tested during the day.

 

Those trains are being built by a consortium of Bombardier and Alstom.

 

Here's the video:

How many cars were in that train? I lost count, but there seemed to be more than eight.

Nine-car consists. 

 

*by sheer coincidence, there is a Czech model kit maker named MPM, with a sub-brand called Azur.

The train has 9 cars! 

 

That's quite interesting haha. MPM-10 stands for "Matériel Pneumatique pour Montréal commandé en 2010" (Rubber wheeled rolling stock for Montreal ordered in 2010)

Update! The new MPM-10 trains have entered in service yesterday! Here's a video of the ride between two stations Côte-Sainte-Catherine and Plamondon.

The train itself looks good but the rear and front ends are horrible. The thing that worsens them is the headlight.

I agree, the front design isn't my cup of tea. In fact, there were three designs that were voted by the public and that was the one I didn't want to win loll.. oh well. But inside the trains are really nice. Next time I catch it, I'll try filming the passenger information screen.
