Metrorail says it is experiencing power outages due to an outstanding Eskom payment, resulting in the temporary suspension of its rail operations in northern Gauteng.
Train services on these lines will not be operational “until Prasa and Eskom management teams are able to resolve the matter”, Metrorail said in a statement on Tuesday.
The services affected are:
- Mabopane — Pretoria;
- Saulsville — Pretoria; and
- Pienaarspoort — Pretoria.
“Metrorail management regrets and apologises for this unfortunate situation and commits to working on finding a long-term speedy solution in the best interest of commuters.”
