Cape commuter trains are reported to be back in service and operating to schedule today.
It is reported that a team of eleven Metrorail technicians and support staff battled for more than forty hours to repair multicore cables, transformers and other electronic equipment vandalised during a cable theft attempt at a Woodstock signal cabin in the early hours of Friday.
Two suspects were arrested as the train service suffered major delays as trains had to be manually authorised as a safety measure.
Stephen Ngobeni, Regional Manager of the Western Cape region is reported to have thanked the technical teams responsible for the repairs.
Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicious behaviour and damage in and around railway tracks or stations to the CrimeStop toll-free number 08600 10111 or Metrorail's toll-free security number 0800 21 00 81.
