Drivers Cab
The
VLocities Drivers Cab is very modern, incorporating an
ergonomic design and the best of today's in cab features -
CD player, fridge, and all the dials and switches you could
throw a stick at!
Below are photos
taken on the V'Locity Revenue Passenger Service Launch Day -
Thursday 22nd December 2005.
Thanks to the member of Bombardier staff who generously
allowed me time in the cab!
