Wanneer Korrupsie Dodelik Word! PRASA Stuur Op Treinongeluk Af Sonder Remstelle in Voorraad! Suid-Afrika Word ‘n Treinramp!

#TheAfricanWay – Is jy seker dat jy op daardie trein wil klim? Die bestuur by PRASA het al die geld geplunder, selfs vir treinremme, en skarrel nou rond in ou dromme op soek na ou tweedehandse onderdele om te gebruik!

‘n Amptelike inspeksie deur die Spoorveiligheidsreguleerder (Rail Safety Regulator RSR) by die Braamfontein-onderhoudsperseel van PRASA, het bevind dat hulle nie ‘n enkele treinremstel in voorraad het nie, en dat dit nie verslete remonderdele op PRASA-treine kan vervang nie. Hierdie bevinding deur die spoorveiligheidsreguleerder is amptelik aan Prasa gekommunikeer in ‘n brief wat op 22 Januarie aan hulle gerig is.

Prasa is beveel om aan die RSR ‘n bewys te lewer dat hy van plan is om die tekort aan remblokstelle op te los, en Prasa is ook beveel om versekering en bewys te lewer dat alle remblokke in treine veilig kan werk. Dit is baie twyfelagtig dat Prasa hieraan sal voldoen, omdat daar wyd berig is dat Prasa heeltemal bankrot is met ‘n leë bankrekening.

Luidens die brief moes PRASA by Dinsdag, 4 Februarie, voldoen het aan die eisbrief van die RSR. Die DA het intussen ook inligting ontvang dat Prasa-werktuigkundiges in ou dromme rondkrap vir remstelle om verslete remstelle in treine te vervang. Chris Hunsinger van die DA, het gesê dat die gebruik van tweedehandse onderdele ‘n werklike bedreiging vir pendelaars inhou, wat Prasa-dienste gebruik. Die DA wil hê Prasa moet in die openbaar ‘n plan aankondig om genoeg remstelle vir sy treine aan te skaf.

Prasa will completely close Pretoria Railway Station with no trains accessing the station for 40 days

Prasa will completely close Pretoria Railway Station with no trains accessing the station for 40 days

Prasa will completely close Pretoria Railway Station with no trains accessing the station for 40 days with effect from December 14 until January 22.

The work will involve the replacement of old signals, turnouts and points machines as part of Prasa’s modernisation programme. The benefits of a new modernised infrastructure will be a safer, faster, smoother and world class train service with improved traveling times.

An occupation will be taken during this period and trains will be monitored to ensure safe movement. During the construction phase the following train service will apply:

1. Trains from the Saulsville corridor (00), De Wildt corridor (44) and Mabopane (18) will turn around at Bosman Station.

2. All trains on the northern side will terminate at Bosman Station and Mears Street Station.

3. A shuttle train service (31s) will run between Mears Street Station and Koedoespoort. Buses will ferry commuters to Bosman Station.

4. Another shuttle train service (81s) will run between Pienaarspoort to Bosman via Capital Park route.

5. All Johannesburg – Pretoria trains (06s) will turn at Centurion Station, buses will ferry commuters to Bosman Station.

6. The only tickets that will be sold are to commuters traveling between listed stations.

Commuters are advised to adhere to the service announcements made at stations during this period to be familiar with the revised train timetable.

The final testing and commissioning of the newly installed electronic signalling system in the Park Station complex is going well. Many platforms had been turned back to operations running with the new system, proving that the transition from the old system to the new electronic interlocking system had been a huge success.
