Great pics Stefan, I would like to visit the Bellville depot myself! How difficult is it getting in there and can anyone take pics there?

Hi Morne, They are always eager to take you around. Go and buy a reflective vest. When you get there, you get a breathaliser and sign in and some one will take you around. Take photo's wherever you want.
