Metrorail in Cape Town has warned that
commuters can expect train delays on the central line.
This is after a train derailed just outside
Mutual station at a construction site late last night.
Metrorail's regional manager Mthuthuzeli
Swartz said the train and railway line were extensively damaged.
Swartz said the train is being moved and
the whole line between Mutual and Langa has been closed which is causing the
delays.
Swartz added that we want to assure commuters
that we as Metrorail we are doing all that we can to make sure that the service
returns back to normal in the shortest possible time.
Swarts said what we have done is that all
trains that are suppose to go via Mutual are now being diverted via Pinelands
so that people can still be able to reach their destinations with minimal
disruptions.
"We also have buses that we had put in
place as of this morning to transport commuters between Mutual and Langa Swartz
added.
