Those graffiti artists are everywhere! Nice setting. Is the Cape To Cuba restaurant not somewhere near there?

UK railfans tend to refer to them as "graffiti vandals" rather than "artists". But South Africa seems to have remarkably little graffiti on the railways compared to Europe and the USA.

Allan, great pics. Emphasises the tight curvature on the Fish Hoek - Simonstown line. But, gosh and golly, even the resident station platform rock has not escaped the Cape's graffitti vandals!

Sadly this station is below the road level and its covered in graffti. Pity as it spoils the whole area.
