A Shosholoza Meyl train en-route to Cape Town has been stuck at Prince Albert after it experienced a loco failure leaving passengers with scant ablution facilities.
The train left Johannesburg Park station on Sunday morning and got stuck in the evening. Shosholoza Meyl spokesperson Daisy Daniels says another train was arranged to fetch the stranded passengers however it was delayed at Wellington.“We have arranged busses that will shuttle our passengers instead of arriving on the train at 20:00 we have arranged alternative busses nine of them that will take care of our passengers between where the train will be standing at the time.
Their promise of a 'pleasant experience' is non existent. Unfriendly and unhelpful staff at Park Station, train leaving 2hrs late, several times the train stood still for hours. When the train reached Prince Albert, it was already a day behind schedule.
Every day the train are running late because of cable theft
We experienced the same thing just a month back. It's really irritating considering the fact that we didn't even get an apology from Prasa. We traveled for 40 hours, you can just imagine how tiring that was
