Awesome. I think they only re-opened De Wildt fairly recently. Before that, trains used to terminate at Talliardshoop. De Wildt is actually technically outside the borders of Gauteng. I think that is the same line that carries on out towards Sun City. Imagine if you could catch a train from Pretoria to Sun City and the Pilanesberg? Mabopane station was totally closed for renovations and was about to be reopened just before the pandemic. Then during the pandemic the station was messed up again - but at least the damage didn't seem to be too bad.
Nice video, with regards to the litter there's an ongoing municipal strike in Pretoria that has been going on for 3 months hence the trash isn't being collected
Lol these trains are taking you to places you probably wouldn't have imagined going to. I grew up in Pretoria. Your journey brings back so many memories
Take Blue Train to Cape Town. The route to mabopane brings more memories, during my last year in varsity I used to take train from Denver to Technikon Rant
Love this Videos, Mabopane is my home, I think the last time I used the train was in 2015 or 16, There were still some renovations at Mabopane station, they took a long time, watching this video reminded me of home, I've never been on the new train but wishing to catch one one day.
It's good, beautiful , safe and needed a little improvement to suit people who suffer from different chronics, like children,old age, pregnant women (as you have recommended their seats) and so on... Therefore you need to insert a small emergency lavatory.South Africa has a very large boarding train population. Thanks for the establishment.
Irmão, tu tens a prunúncia de PT. Estou muito grato que vc visitar meu país. Aqui tem muito pessoas de Portugal e Madeira na Cape Town Johannesburg e Bloemfontein. It’s always wonderful to see my brothers from Portugal visit South Africa because we have a lot in common❤
Before I die, I am definitely going on either the Blue Train or on Rovos Rail. I would love to see you do a Rovos Rail review. Take Wifey,she will love it.
hope you enquire with Prasa to use your videos for trip marketing and media purposes (moneybags) and check the guinness world records for anything south african local/provincial rail travel, record wise... you might be onto something.
I think prasa should add in escalators and ramps for wheelchair access. And there needs to be space for wheelchairs on the trains. Yes, these are expensive to implement but it improves accessibility for the disabled as well.
Love your videos, wish you can do a tour around Mabopane station! The train does not stop at Kopanong and Sosha because of vandalism, which has made public transport expensive for them! And the Mabopane station story is painful! The station was renovated and then the police and security were removed in 2021, the whole station was vandalised, now millions have to be used to renovated the station again!
Great job bro, please show us if there are improvements in the ticketing process and access control. Did they make it similar to gautrain? Or is it like the old days with guards checking each ticket?
You are really having chest pains. You are trolling this South African vlogs to make disparaging remarks. You are envious and jealous. Hatred will kill you. Dont tune in if you are not impressed.
That waterfall is man made. There is a pipe going up the mountain to make that waterfall. It has not been working for years, I was surprised seeing it working about two weeks ago.
man u just reminded me of the time i was still young and joyride a train from mamelodi all the way to de wildt and back to pta station and take the saulsville train or jhb train and go back home after the long journey and the de wildt traun turned back at hercules sation when you took that video now they go straight to pretoria.... you should take the pta pienaarspoort (mamelodi) train next time
PRASA: I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, David, now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a people's train ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us, "no" Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming. 😅😂💯🇿🇦
What other country in Africa can do what South Africa does. No one manufacturers world standard trains cars etc on the continent. Haaaa haibo give your self a big pat on the back !!
The law in SA is very lax when it comes to protecting our public infrastructure, PRASA has been under siege due to unprecedented levels of corruption and I am glad they are now getting their act together because the vandals saw that the train stations were neglected/unprotected by PRASA and they took an advantage of that.
at mabopane you weren't supposed to board off u waited for the same train the mabopane rail is a parabolica it curves and come to the other platform wish u recorded it 🤣
👌thanks for the tip. I know that was the same train, but many countries around the world don't allow you to stay inside the train when you reach the final station. The same rule doesn't apply here.😃
Prasa must build a steel fence around the platform to reduce thugs who don't want to buy tickets
We as Citizens must make sure we report crimes.
@@mhlongobonga3572agree,we need to have pride and take care of our assets 🇿🇦
Dont worry about that cos safety is first priority in this project.
Already happening

It would be nice if the Hammanskraal line reopened
Thanks for the important information 🏆🇿🇦🚉✔️

As usual good work. Loving it.👋👋👋👋
I saw the trains being build at Gibela. We are proud. Hope the people look after it..😊
Make sure you share that video non-stop. 🏆🇿🇦🚉✔️

Very informative and telling us exactly how to go about travelling by train.Thanks so much.
You folks are doing a great job!!
Thank you 🇿🇦🏆🚉✔️
Can't wait for the Blue Train journey

I think there is a sabotage in action and I suspect Taxi industry
We will see what we can do. Thanks for sharing. 🏆🇿🇦🚉✔️

now this is beautiful! wow!
Would be lovely to also see the blue train journey but omw it is sooo expensive. I think you might not do it anymore after seeing the prices O.O
Great job bro, please show us if there are improvements in the ticketing process and access control. Did they make it similar to gautrain? Or is it like the old days with guards checking each ticket?
Still manual with the old ticket system
I want to know more about that waterfall and the mountains simply majestic nothing beats the train view of nature 💯👍
@@youme1414 you must really be fun at the parties... 😒🥱

David, you must vlog yourself watching the rugby somewhere in Joburg. Perhaps waterfall, Melrose arch or maybe Nelson Mandela square in Sandton
Hi did you see brighter right school with red i am in that school and I saw a blue train
Nice video
PRASA: I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, David, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a people's train ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "no"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming. 😅😂💯🇿🇦
You are a wonderful poet🏆🇿🇦🚉✔️
Wow, the Blue Train
Mabopane station is one of the biggest stations in the country. It might be the second or third biggest and busiest station in the country.
Pretoria outskirts really looked atrocious😢💔 i hope local government can get back to cleaning such sooner rather than later.
we love the trains x
If you read the press you'll think there's only one train running in SA!!!
You will think even that one is partly working 🤣🤣 they say everything is bad
Mainstream media will make you think nothing is happening in the country.
PRASA can adopt a lot from Gautrain tbh.
They should
It's Brazilian trains but assembly in south Africa.
What other country in Africa can do what South Africa does. No one manufacturers world standard trains cars etc on the continent. Haaaa haibo give your self a big pat on the back !!
🇿🇦🏆🚉✔️
Purple City
You should start budgeting now.
Yesterday
Blue train ride is expensive 😁

We hope things improve drastically from now on 🇿🇦🏆🚉✔️
bro how much is the train from mabopane to Pretoria cbd
The time I caught it was 5 rand
at mabopane you weren't supposed to board off u waited for the same train the mabopane rail is a parabolica it curves and come to the other platform wish u recorded it 🤣

The littering is from the black folk. The appreciation of the finer things in life is lacking.
I don't appreciate those who throw stones on trains
its not made localy its imported
