Face of the Future. Class 18E stands at the running shed depot at Capital Park. These were converted 6E1 units. Conversion of the units has now come to an end and there will be a new generation of electrics to come. There are quite a lot of problems with these locos, from what the crews say. Probably one of them is the lack of computer games, CD player facility! These units are fitted with an onboard toilet. Apparently the crews, especially the assistant, had to remove the waste and they were not happy with this affair!

Class 18E conversion of the driver's controls. Nice computer screen to watch DVDs while waiting for trains to cross!
