@@VictorAppollis definitely a change for sure

@@transnamibnel Thanks Oom. It's really nice to see some electric action on the main lines.

@@marval44039 yeah the EMUs doing the last sweeps for the day, peak hour traffic. Just wish we'd have double sets running but eish.

@@WillCharlesRoss Thanks Bossman, really appreciate it!

Thanks Boss, yeah i didnt expect the 5Es to be leading but as surprised as i was, i had to make rhe most of it.

Yes Nigel, that is correct.

Yes, my mistake, its daily.

In this instance it went via Bellville, and then i think saltriver-wyneberg

Yessir, sometimes the diesels give problems aswell.

I was there the first time yes, unfortunately couldn't make the 2nd time

Thanks Oom Piet

No it was only that day

Nice, isn't it! 😀

@@Imsaptouw It is wonderful!

Its very possible.

They ran in December but stopped services.

I agree 100% with you Marval. These blue 20Es should stay on the Blue Train, and if they're out of service, they should allocate and paint 2 other corresponding numbered 20Es.

Which diesels are you refering to?

Sorry about that, I should have been more specific. The diesels at the beginning of the video.

@@gordonvincent731 Class 43-000 General Electric type C30ACi diesel-electric locomotives, 3000-3300hp

@@Imsaptouw OK, now I know, thanks for the info.

I agree, but i doubt those triple axles will survive our tight curves on some sections.

They get going so fast its music to my ears

Yes they are indeed very busy, id go as far to say they run that coal corridor up to a point.

We still have a couple doing rounds

Unfortunately i do not

@@Imsaptouw Oh ok, thanks.

The ANC should feel ashamed really. But do they?

​@@nelsonchinasamy9857 can't blame anc, they don't take accountability for anything 😂. Always...but always someone else's fault 😛

Itt is the apartheid which led to this ! Eish.

@@kobusdewet5004 yeah, always apartheid and colonialists fault. I have suffered under those evil systems, . but I have put that in the past and moved ahead. From the son of an indentured labourer to a chemical engineer. I have worked hard to be where I am today. From the sugarcane fields of KZN To the vineyards of the Western Cape. I have made it happen for myself, never begging the government or anyone else for anything.

Now 28 years since they got an almost pristine country and it has been reduced to near rubble by African mentality. Imagine if they ran this previously beautiful country from around 1900 when the British were in charge. Eish, would have been a wasteland sooner.

So far, the recent consist has been the X'trapolis, but i think when things pick up in January and people start working, the 5M2A and 10M5s will be used more. Koeberg depot has a lot of X'trapolis staged there, some seem to be in service when driving on the M5 overlooking into the yard.

@@Imsaptouw I see, I go past the area regularly. I think you mean Salt River Station, due to the fact that Koeberg Road Station doesn’t have a depot. Isn’t the 10M5 only used in Kwazulu-Natal? I thought they had specific names for specific regions. The only regions which don’t have the 10M series is Port Elizabeth and East London.

@@Imsaptouw Ok no sorry I am confused now, it either looks like Ysterplaat, Salt River or Koeberg Road, I am honestly confused. Edit: It could even be Espalande Station.

@@FamtechVideos yes my apologies, i meant salt river.

Thanks Oom Piet, yes very windy indeed.

Shes vrek weird, thanks for the sub.

@@Imsaptouw No worries, I also do trainspotting, I have yet to release a video on my spottings, such as the 5M2A, X'Trapolis Mega and Malmesbury Metro (The only ones I have footage of being in operation, Malmesbury Metro only leaving Cape Town Station, the others all over the Southern Line).

@@FamtechVideos you should post, always looking forward to seeing new areas and content.

@@Imsaptouw I will be putting together the compilation today.

@@Imsaptouw I have got the videos together, time to edit.

Same here. This station looks horrible. I can imagine what the tourists think when they run through the dilapidated stations on The Blue Train and Rovos.
