    I’m so glad that you can travel alone, the trains are very safe.

      It was a cool experience. Please let me know what limes should we do in CT?

      @@Livinginsatv You should do the Southern line (most beautiful scenery of any Prasa line), as well as Northern line. Unfortunately the busiest Central line to the Cape Flats is still under major reconstruction due to people building housing on the railway lines.

      Oh, I never used a train in Cape Town, since I moved from Gauteng to Western Cape. I only saw trains operating, when I drive around Fish hoek and Simon’s Town.

    Thanks for doing another route so soon. The Saulsville route was the first one to be brought back online after the pandemic. So I suppose it must have served as a model for how to do the other routes. Seems like you always get the new trains - I'm not sure if they still use the old ones. There was news of contracts going out for revamping of the old trains - but they have already been revamped a few times by this stage. I would guess that many would have to be scrapped - especially the burned ones you saw on your trip.

      Thanks for the insightful comment. Only the new ones are operating as far as I have seen. I will try to find about the refurbishment industry and if the yhe old cartridges are being repurposed. 🇿🇦✔️🏆👌

    the old trains will be sold for a major loss, this is relative to the value they have and could return, instead of being refurbished to expand their fleet subsequently lowering prices, increasing the number trips for long distance and short, and increase average trip speed's. PRASA & co. in doing this would create endless work opportunities in the locomotive refurbishment industry and lots of jobs too.
    Instead the people who will buy up the old fleet for cheap ( e.g. R5.00 for everything like SAA) will refurbish them and do what PRASA & TRANSNET were supposed to do! This will subsequently cause prices and competition to rise dramatically. They will likely sell the old trains pilled up in PTA, JHB, CPT, etc to one person/company/consortium instead of at least splitting everything up. They (TRANSNET & PRASA) could even start the BILLION RAND locomotive refurbishment industry up again themselves and at least have a share of the pie along chain but will likely be short sighted and sell the trains for a loss.
    I would be surprised if they negotiate a stake in any entity buying up their fleets, to justify the cheap sale(s).... that old fleet is literally a cash cow chilling...

      do reply with feedback, I am interested in what you find particularly in refurbishing and upgrading the old trains and what power sources they could use...
      i saw you looking at the PRASA rail grid, my question on that is how MW/GW would PRASA need to run every single line and trainstation on their MAP 365 days up to 10pm - 00am (night shift workers considered)? How much of that could they produce with hindsight to the electrical situations in the country and likely prior consumption data that they should have from before the dilapidation and or initial planning, creation and expansion of railway in Gauteng let alone the country...
      i guess it is a 3 part question but mainly how much electricity does PRASA require to fully operate gauteng lines and stations (Gautrain included), secondly the countries lines and stations and final power/electricity to be self sufficient for a country wide railway network/system???

      @@tshepongake7209 "It has been claimed that the vehicle consumes 31 per cent less energy in comparison to its legacy counterparts, which has been attributed to its light-weight construction, achieved in turn via a stainless steel structure and the adoption of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based regenerative braking system." - From Wikipedia article on the X'trapolis Mega. Regenerative braking means it feeds power back into the grid as it brakes. Many older electric trains simply dump the extra power generated by braking out as heat.

      are you implying that the new PRASA trains feedback energy via RBS and that the old ones don't and cant be upgraded to have RBS?@@stuartkinnear2478
