Trans Karoo to Cape Town Part Two (Germiston - Redan)

[@VerhonaSwartz]

Trans Karoo used to be the God of trains in South Africa back in the day😊

Dit is omdat hierdie krimineele wat die land regeer bokkerol trots in hulle het en ook bokkerol tussen daardie twee vlappe van hulle.

The weeds along and on the track are shocking. It is blatant complete lack of maintenance and lack of pride. That would never have been tolerated in the days when our rail network was world class. It just shows the level of decline. It's encouraging and amazing to see the passenger train running again. Well done for that giving us hope for an improved rail system.

we are getting there slowly but surely

Would be nice to get interior shots of toilets. Dining car etc. And feedback on internal cleanliness and security as well as scheduling experiences. Those are the concerns that need to be adressed before large scale re-use of this previously much loved service

[@bonganimkhwanazi6485]

Noted, for the next trip will include everything

[@marval44039]

I had no idea you filmed this much content. This has refreshed my memory of some places as well as highlighted just how bad the infrastructure has become. Top notch content bro, nice to see a few winners on your journey. Apparently, those bunch of winners (18Es) have been staged at Redan for weeks now.

[@bonganimkhwanazi6485]

I thought maybe they were taking a nap😅😅😅. Unfortunately for me its been a while seeing active 18Es until i went on that trip. Thanks bro

Once considered among the best railways in the world disgrace how the new goverment let it be in state it is today

[@RalphRalefeta]

When you have incompetent people who are useless and given position these are the results

[@gerhardusbreed3229]

yes plant flowers or something not weeds but thd roots gona make the tracks brake apart anyway just clean the tracks

[@t20turnaround49]

Is any of the overhead electrification still working or has it become defunct as well as the signalling systems?

[@bonganimkhwanazi6485]

This signaling issue is nationally

[@rainbowtrust6347]

😂is transkaroo open. I miss my annual traveling JBG to Boland and Cape Town . Is it safe now after vandalism???

[@bonganimkhwanazi6485]

Now the train is a pain. Its about 6hours to Potch

[@gertvandermerwe1061]

This is what happens when a terrorist organization becomes the government and all that they care for is self enrichment using people with false sense and promises to achieve their goal😢😢😢

[@wimpretorius1683]

The platforms are in a very bad state with the weeds growing there

[@edwardlowe7260]

The outher side of the train is only squatter camps

[@DickyKoorsten]

All the stations along the route badly maintained weeds growing out through the cement a bad reflection on our country vandalising signals and stealing overhead cables is a shame on south africa what used to be a proud organisatian is now on a downward spiral sadly this train only reached as far as de aar and passengers had to be ferried by bus to cape town a lot of hard work will be needed to get the railway to the standard it once had sad to see your old employer in such a sorry state

[@bonganimkhwanazi6485]

Currently this stations are not inuse, they suffered prior to lockdown.

[@gertvandermerwe1061]

What a shame the anc government has totally dumped a well organized railway system in to nothing today people must pay large amounts of money for taxi transportation and a big safety risk get to work and home should the rail system still have been functioning the costs of getting to work and back would have been less what a shame

[@edwardlowe7260]

Bloody disgrace that the travvellers have to see

[@gobbymohedeen6392]
