3 visits to SA in the 1990s. If this is Joburg where are all the people? looks like a ghost town😢Hope those stations are going to be upgraded, but as nobody seems to use them they must be abandoned?

@vernongoodey5096 Most stations suffered the blow during Covid 19, and the country went on lockdown. Construction has begun to recover most of the stations.

What a filthy station and lines!! As far as you go it's just trash. No pride whatsoever! It's like a refuse dumpyard not to mention the grass and weed. A real cesspit! I wonder how clean the inside of the trains are? I wouldn't ever use this train that's for sure! The last time we travelled this route was in 1993 and it was such a pleasure. Stations were super clean and tidy as well as the interior of the train and along the tracks. You never saw such filth and weed jungle! Clearly it's not the case now.

Pre 1994 JHB station saw the arrival and departure of over 1000 trains a day. Now looking along the tracks 30 years later, not a single trackside signal light in opperation, not to mention the general condition of neglect for all to see. It was said at the time that SA was built on the backs of black labour, and here is the proof of that lie. It is now an entrenched fact that black governments in SA can achieve nothing other than breaking things down, The ANC is truly and fundamentaly useless to its voters..

@stuartkinnear2478 9 ай бұрын

Nice video. Looks like those extra stations are almost ready to go. Ja - the engineers back in the day knew how to build a railway. Almost all the main metrorail passenger lines in Gauteng are totally grade separated - no level crossings. Which is something you don't even see overseas. Seems like the problematic section in that area is from Irene to Kaalfontein - I know lots of people are eager for Oakmoor to reopen, but I heard there are lots of issues there.

@bonganimkhwanazi6485 9 ай бұрын

Thank you, Yes Oakmoor and Elandsfontein are facing similar issues, they are the two station on that corridor with alot of commuter. Personal opinion, prasa is moving slow to fix platform clearance problem.

@stuartkinnear2478 9 ай бұрын

@@bonganimkhwanazi6485 Yes - I can see the platform issues becoming bigger in the future. When I caught the train from Pretoria to Irene last week I was shocked at how big the gap was at Irene. There are just so many different platform heights on the network. I saw in Durban there was basically level boarding to the new blue sets - but then there is a massive gap at some platforms here. No standard. Customers coming from Gautrain will just expect level boarding to be everywhere. But I think in Gauteng, Prasa's priority for now is just to reopen more corridors - especially Randfontein and Vereeniging.
