A Metrorail tower which was blown off by the wind last Friday, is causing delays or suspension of certain train lines in the metro.
Metrorail acting spokesperson, Zino Mihi, says these
telecommunications, are used by both Transnet and PRASA, and occurred since
Monday, affecting the Salt River and Wynberg areas.
‘’The telecommunications teams are currently on site to
repair the tower. The regional train service has been affected to a point where
the Central and Northern Lines are operating a limited train service. However,
the South and Cape Flats Lines remain suspended until the telecommunication
challenges are resolved. The Southern Line runs from Cape Town to Simonstown.
On the other hand, the Cape Flats Line runs from Cape Town to Retreat.
Communication through our Social Media platforms (twitter and Facebook) are
regularly updated to share information on service disruptions.’’
‘’The damaged tower impacts the communication flow between
the Train Traffic Control centre to the train crew. As a safety control
measure, the region is necessitated to suspend the service in the affected
areas,’’ she added.
