New Metro

Post by John Ashworth »

I think this must be one of those new business expresses? It was standing in Pretoria Station this morning. Very nice looking train.

Well done John - first decent picture of the Pretoria Business Express! New units and all! Was the old Metro coloured unit on the right coupled on?

Yes, it was coupled on. The TFR pilot was muttering something about more power needed to move the heavier set, but I don't know if that's true or not.
