The reopening of the three lines in Gauteng follows the return to service of 10 other rail lines in the province over the past 12 months, including key routes used by large numbers of commuters daily.
Almost four years after the destruction of the country’s rail infrastructure, Prasa has been on a steady recovery path that has seen more crucial rail lines reopen. In Gauteng, 13 of the province’s 16 commuter lines have resumed operations.
This brings to 13 the total number of reopened rail lines in Gauteng. Three still remain out of action. In 2023, Prasa said it planned to spend R50-billion over three years on rolling stock and infrastructure investments for the modernisation, reconstruction and recovery of the rail network. She said it was exciting news that train services were steadily returning to many areas, as people were desperate for affordable means of transport.
