Cable theft was the cause of a train collision near Atteridgeville in Pretoria on Thursday morning, Metrorail says.

An updated estimate says two people, including the train driver, have sustained critical injuries. Eight people are in a serious condition and 300 injuries have been reported.

Just great - damn cable thieves should be shot on sight!

So why can the trains not operate on manual mode?? what exactly is manual mode??
