The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) says it will terminate rail services on three Gauteng corridors for the next few months to allow for the rehabilitation and restoration of the electrical cables and traction substations that were vandalised or stolen during the Covid-19 Level 5 hard lockdown. The revamp will also allow PRASA to “run more efficient train services and to introduce the electrical motor units which form part of the agency’s modernisation programme”.
