Most South Africans have fond memories of traveling by train with their parents. This will boost the economy and bring this experience to our kids. Thank you. Hope security will be of high quality.
Have tried to do bookings for past week.... no answer... phone keeps on rigning, cannot book online..... trail looks great butt service already a huge problem...😮
Yes Shosholoza Meyl return is welcome.It will ease the way of travel for us from Rural Areas of Mpumalanga and Limpopo.Not for Festive Season but sustainable.We can be relief from congestion on our roads and to hire for groups.No TollGates and packed like Sardines for long travel.
I enjoyed going on the train in 2008 to PE from JHB but with the crime levels and rail vandalism im not sire they will have a reliable service. Hope im wrong
But when? Because they say it’s operating between Joburg and Cape Town but it actually isn’t. I have tried to book to take a trip to Joburg and for family to visit us but it’s actually not operational yet.
The rail network was abandoned and run down by anc incompetence and corruption some people could even travel from CT to EC withiout paying a cent thats how useless this company could be
The one that doesn't keep time .I took it eight hours to travel from Newcastle to JHB traveling at 30km/h and making 2000 stops . finally at 13pm it left Newcastle at 5am and it was late should have departed at 12am
Took the sleeper train as an entire high school, was one of the BEST experiences ever 🙌

Its still not. There used to be trains to everywhere. Now they want applause for 2 trains.
Spokesperson is beautiful
Bro say that again
This is such great news. Thank you 😊
What about JHB to Komatipoort and Other places
Have to sell my farm to travel on the Shosholoza from JBH TO CPT😊😊😊
Fantastic
Is the train air-conditioned?
No from old train.I'm not sure with new trains.
the new ones yes, they even have a heater
what does this train run on? to take this long to travel to Durban must be pulled by donkey .
Lol

Great new but loadsheeding is 😂😂😂. Our government needs to understand how to fix everything 😢
What about main line trains that shosholoza is bad news
Cape town to joburg. Broken.
Joburg to durban. Only one trip available.
Stupid government broke everyrhing
Didn't face operational challenges, it faced corruption under Jacob Zuma.
Only to find thugs waiting for you at your stops

When was this?
Did she say 18 hours to Durban? You can drive that in 6 hours 🤣 But fair play, food, drinks and beds, sounds good. And it's cheap AF
That's very cheap and convenient but Chile, traveling 30hrs on a train, you sure about that
Hawkers will be able to make money again and sell in the train.
There are no long distance trains running, a donkey and cart could do a better job.
