Many trains in the Western Cape stopped running during the Covid-19 lockdown, but things are beginning to return to normal.
It’s not just the pandemic that affected services, though. As in many other parts of the country, railways in the Western Cape have been hard hit by cable theft, vandalism and loadshedding. Many commuters rely on the trains every day, but unfortunately the trains aren’t always reliable!
