Gautrain services disrupted between Rosebank, Park Station
Gautrain on Saturday suspended its train services between Park and Rosebank stations.
The suspension follows a technical problem on the train line.
Gautrain spokesperson Kesagee Nayager said a bus service has been implemented to transport passengers between the two stations.
"We have implemented a bus service to transport passengers between Park and Rosebank stations and trains between all other stations are operating according to schedule.”
"We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to our passengers traveling between Park and Rosebank this morning and to assure them that we are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible," she said.
Gautrain Management’s Albi Modise further said parts of the rail network that runs above ground had been affected.
"Our investigation has established that there was an illegal drilling activity on a private property located above the tunnel. This activity was not approved in accordance with the requirements of the Gauteng Transport Infrastructure Act (GTIA). This illegal activity therefore caused the ingress of water and soil into the tunnel that impacts our ability to operate the system between these two stations."
