PRASA Recovers Train Services In East London And Gqeberha

PRASA is pleased to announce that final preparations are underway to resume limited services in the Eastern Cape on the East London and Gqebherha corridors. This comes after the line was closed on the 7th of January as a result of severe vandalism rendering the network unable to operate. The region originally operated both diesel and electric trains, however, the severe vandalism left the region unable to operate due to cable theft. As an interim measure, PRASA has made available diesel locomotives in order to service while repair works continue on the lines. The effort is part of the commitment to return services in all its operational regions through key interventions such as operating non-electric trains in the interim. “We are recovering our services Corridor-By-Corridor"...
