On the 27th of February 2008, I set out with Les Kenward after we had been given permission by Metrorail to visit the Khayelitsha Express. The express is staged at Paarden Island during the day when not in use due to security reasons. The express is made up of re-built 10M2 MC/TC and the newer 10M5. Security are on board the train 24 hours a day, to protect the interior from theft, as there is catreing equipment on each coach.
The coaches were very clean and well kept. We had full access to the set and really enjoyed the visit. The plan was to catch the service the next day.
Some pictures of our visit.
