3rd August 2018 Notification.

Change of route

Metrol Rail is currently in the process of changing the signaling system on the Southern Suburbs line all the way to Simonstown and for safety reasons they have temporarily  stopped private trains from making use of this line.

For this reason we have had to change the Simon’s Town route to Spier – Stellenbosch.
Metro Rail are endeavoring to have the line open again for the summer season.

Your safety is our first priority and we trust that you will understand the circumstances surrounding this change of route.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Passengers who already have confirmed bookings for 12th & 26th August will receive a personal message regarding this re-routing
