Wow. That really is impressive. Is the word 'MetroRail' still retained?

What does the grey motive in the middle of the coach resemble (not the PRASA logo)? It looks like a pregnant woman!

Also, what is the yellow? Is it graffitti already?

I also noted that all the windows aren't the same, I like the side-slide windows the most as you can stick see better, the vertically moving windows aren't glass and they tend to go ugly very quickly and then you can't see a thing through them.

Blimey, at first glance it looked like a First National Bank branded train.
Not quite on the rails.

Marc if you are referring to the object on top of carriage no4. It is a signal for the down line.If you look carefully between the 2nd and 3rd carriages. There, something strange seems to be happening .

Do these replace the Metro colours? At the Metro refurb place I pass every day they are still busy churning out coaches in the yellow and grey colours every day.

There is a lady that runs a business just outside Touwsrivier. They respray Metro coaches providing work for the local population. You can see it from the train as you pass. I hope someone has informed her of the new colour change

We are at last becoming a "Rainbow Railway". Nice colour schemes these days.

Saw these two motorcoaches (or others in the same colour scheme) on Wednesday and there was also other coaches in the consist with PEP-boutique adverts, almost looks like the Russian trains posted some time ago.
