The most apparent visual differences from the older wagons are the ribbed sides (on the Type 1, 3 and 4), the new "face" on the cab ends, some blue (Western Cape) or turquoise (KwaZulu-Natal) added to the usual gray and yellow livery, and a new numbering system that ends with M for motor coaches and T for standard unmotorised coaches.
