According to an article on Hearld Sun,Swanston will keep its green-gold

Just like Connex Versus Bayside trains. I know a lot of people have
criticism against Connex,still I prefer Connex over Bayside trains.

Connex didn't ask for capital grant, instead take initiative to
<<Connex>> its fleet. Yarra trams did recieved capital grant for its
refurbishment with A and B class.
