Metrorail services disrupted in Vereeniging
Metrorail has advised commuters in Vereeniging, in the south
of Johannesburg to seek alternative transport due to a train derailment.
Gauteng Metrorail spokesperson, Lillian Mofokeng, says the first train for the morning, Train 9001, derailed early on Wednesday.
"The cause of the derailment is yet to be determined and no commuter injuries reported," says Mofokeng.
Mofokeng adds no trains can move in and out of the Vereeniging area.
"A total of five trainsets were supposed to depart from Vereeniging towards Johannesburg via Midway, while two other sets were supposed to depart towards Germiston via Meyerton."
Mofokeng says there will only be four train sets departing from Johannesburg turning at Houtheuwel and three train sets leaving from Germiston turning at Meyerton.
