Gautrain from the lineside

Post by Aidan McCarthy »

Hi,

Went out this morning to scout the Gautrain route to see if there are any good spots. Found a few around Kelvin powerstation. Will have to get out earlier next time. Hope you enjoy

Supposed to be every 30 mins on weekends, I did not time them and it felt like they were coming quicker. Maybe they are still on the 12 min timetable they implemented to handle all the sightseers from Kempton Park

There is a red light next to the headlamps that is lit at the rear end
