They are built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay, with designs based on Bombardier's Movia family of trains.The TRs are the only trains operating in North America with a "six-car fixed" configuration with full-open interior gangways. These gangways are similar to that on the TTC's Articulated Light Rail Vehicle streetcars, the TTC's new low floor streetcars (which are scheduled to enter service in summer 2014) and its new low-floor articulated buses. They allow passengers to move freely from one end to the other. Previous TTC train models were built in 2-car mated pairs and operate as 2- or 3-pair (4- or 6-car) train sets respectively, meaning passengers are not allowed to move from car to car through the inter-car doors. The TR trains have two cab cars (the first and last car of the train) and four non-driving cars. The TR series trains operate on the Yonge–University–Spadina subway (Line 1). They have already replaced the remaining H4 and H5 trains, which were the oldest lines of subway trains and had been in revenue service since the 1970s. The H4s were the last in the TTC subway train rolling stock to be furnished with large orange vinyl bench seating and did not have air-conditioning systems. Some of them have been retained by the TTC for use as maintenance trains.As more TR trains enter service, the remaining T1 series trains serving Yonge–University–Spadina line are being shifted onto the Bloor–Danforth line (Line 2), which will replace the older H6 series trains. It has been reported that some of the H6s are being shipped to the United States (along with some of the already retired H5 cars) for refurbishing and conversion to standard gauge and will ultimately be shipped to the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority for use on the Authority's new Eko Rail project in Lagos, Nigeria.. }
