Thanks for sharing, here is a quick mockup I've done personally. The train would be symmetrical this is two (three cab end) designs. I would like to see the middle car wrapped like this though, maybe slightly altered, but I would like to see a nod to the original cadmium yellow in the design even if it is just on one car. The white/black 'M' is just for contrast to see which looks better against the side, as Metro logo is black I believe it should stay black on the side of trains.

a) It's not so much about being special it's more showing we have new trains, it's a new era for Metro. Metro's colour scheme has always been black and yellow as is visible on signage, station refurbishments have gone black/white with splashes of yellow.
b) It's boring but it's easy to maintain, it looks very sharp and professional and maintains the corporate identity.
c) White shows dirt worse, but black also isn't the greatest. The grey we currently use hides dirt quite well as does the yellow front end/doors hence why I have tried to retain both in my design above. Most trains go through the washer every couple days anyway so dirt build up isn't usually too bad.
Finally got around to making diagrams of livery options B and C
