Gautrain test today

Maybe Cape Town should get a Stargate!

Its times like this when I'm sorry I left PTA. They were still blasting rock when I left Gauteng last year. Could have had your own mountan with that rock and! a train.

I would rather suggest a Mag-Lev train between JHB and CT... but with Escom in the picture... Imagine moving at 400km/h, and suddenly all the magnets lose power... :eek:

Confusing.

Right now, the only station in Pta will be the one in Centurion, or are there others?

You can drive from Sandton to Centurion in 15 - 20 minutes by car if there are no traffic problems.

How then can they say the trip will be 40 minutes? If they mentioned the exact departure and arrival points, it would make much more sense ... :confused:

Remember it starts in central Joburg, at the new park station platform being built for it. Through to Rosebank, Sandton, Midrand, Centurion and ultimately Pta central. The only parts that have been scheduled to be complete by the World Cup are the Joburg to Airport/ Airport to Sandton / Joburg to Rosebank, Sandton, Midrand routes.

So 40 minutes from Joburg CBD to PTA CBD is pretty quick. If you can do that on a normal day in peak hour you should be testing for Ferrari!:D

Yes, I gathered that much from an earlier post, where it was also mentioned that the 40 min trip is between the two furthest points and it takes into account all the stops to be made.

Looking at it that way, it is pretty fast. I will mainly use the Sandton/Airport, Sandton/Midrand and Sandton/Centurion routes, so I am really, really looking forward!
 
Let us hope that the Gautrain never runs late, otherwise the matches will come out again!
