Theft of four metres of cable towards Cape Town
Regional Manager Richard Walker said 150
trains were affected during the peak hour.
Metrorail’s Riana Scott said when cable
theft affects us like that where 73 core cables are cut it is difficult to
restore. However our technicians rushed
to the scene and managed to repair the cable but by then the peak hour backlog
had already had significant delays.
Scott said currently the delays are down to
40 minutes and we apologies to our customers for this delays.
“We will be sitting with the police to see
how we can secure the area to prevent a recurrence” Scott added.
