The Lavistown train service resumed operations on Monday, following essential signalling work and infrastructure upgrades. The Bellville to Cape Town route was closed last month to allow for planned recovery work.
Metrorail spokesperson in the Western Cape, Zino Mihi, says
the upgrades will enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of the trains.
‘’The rail operator has successfully upgraded signalling
systems between Bonteheuwel and Belhar stations and improved infrastructure
between Sarepta and Bellville stations. A new signalling equipment room has
also be completed and new signals and turnouts between Langa and Netreg
stations have been installed.’’
"The upgrades will enhance the safety, reliability,
and efficiency of the train service, benefitting thousands of commuters who
rely on this route daily. The re-signalling work was crucial to ensure a
smoother and more secure train operation for the future,’’ added Mihi.
