SAR Sitter Coach (Series 2-4, Side A) |
| Description: |
This sitter coach (a PC title for 4th Class) is painted in the Shosholoza Meyl livery. It has ten windows on each side and its interior layout is a toilet on each side at both ends and a single large open cabin laid out in ten sets of facing seats, with a slightly off centre aisle between the two-seater benches on one side and the three-seater benches on the other side of the coach. When it was rebuilt for the Shosholoza Meyl, the cabin layout was changed to sixteen rows of four airliner type seats with a centre aisle, all facing the same end of the coach, to accommodate 64 passengers. In this arrangement most of the rows of seats are not in line with windows and to call it an uncomfortable ride will be putting it mildly....SAR Type H-2, Number range 25151 to 25350 and 25705 to 25900, Built 1971-85, Length over headstocks 65' 5 1/2", Height 13' 0", Width 9' 4", To seat 64. |
