As we left Capital Park early on the morning of 16th December with one empty main line coach, we had to wait for Rovos Rail's train to set back into their depot after turning on the triangle.
Later in the day, we encountered Rovos Rail again out on the complex.

What a great occasion. This should have been headline news on all the TV news Channels and in all the press.
