I don't think the picture is an 'artist's impression', it looks like a real enough photo to me. Too small to tell though. T PK 12:32, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) I'm not sure if it's a heavily-touched-up photo or artists impression . It sure looks a lot like the 4D itself (unlike the X'Trapolis-in-Melbourne "artist's impression" on the Alstom site, which looks nothing like the X'Trap in Melbourne). One thing that I'm not sure how to describe in the article is, Connex has 'handed back' the 4D to the DoI (not part of their latest contract - they could probably get it if they wanted though) and has even gone to the extent of ordering an extra X'Trapolis to replace the 4D. M> (apparently) wanted to use the 4D back when it was Connex's (old contract), but Connex wouldn't lend it to them (even though Connex and M> used to lend Hitachis to and from each other).
