Prasa restores five more passenger train routes in three provinces

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) says it has restored five more train routes in three provinces to take the total to 31 operating train lines. Three of the routes are in Gauteng, and one each in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, resuming passenger services after almost four years of no service.

The three Gauteng lines restored at the end of March link Johannesburg’s Park Station to Florida and Nancefield stations in Soweto in the south and Germiston to Kwesine in the east of Johannesburg, it said on Wednesday. Extensions to Midway and Katlehong stations will be implemented at a later stage.
