SBE

Photos of Southern African Metro Rail Systems! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest may be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

I see the pic is of set numbered "SBE 2". This implies that ther at least two such sets, I assume.

Very nice looking set. I notice curtains and not roller blinds on the windows. Makes a neat touch. Set looks very smart inside. Great going Metro.

When I went on the SBE to Naledi last year I was surprised to find many women on the train while we flew past the normal Metro trains jammed packed with not even standing room left. I think it is the safety issue as there was a guard on each coach of the SBE. I heard talk of more sets for the Tshwane Business Express as it is very popular.

Watch out for the new SBE3 soon. I hear that it would be a 10M5 with six coaches.
