Following the train accident at the Denver Train Station on April 28, the technical team started working on the affected lines.<\/p>\n
The train service is, however, still suspended between George Goch and Driehoek.<\/p>
Metrorail cannot confirm the expected time of recovery considering the extensive damage to the overhead, railway tracks, platforms, signalling and the platforms.<\/p>\n
Due to the fact that there is no power in the affected area to allow train movement, a shuttle train is running between Johannesburg and Driehoek Station.<\/p>
This shuttle train will not stop at Denver Station.<\/p>\n
Buses have also been introduced to supplement the shuttle service, to enable commuters to continue to their destinations.<\/p>\n
This interim arrangement will result in major train service delays and commuters are advised to seek their own alternative transport where possible.<\/p>\n
This interim arrangement will assist the technical teams to work around the clock to clear the line to restore the normal train service.<\/p>\n
All the Business Expresses to and from Johannesburg did not run yesterday afternoon and were substituted with a bus service.<\/p>\n
A board of enquiry has been instituted to investigate the root cause of the incident.<\/p>\n
