It was a frustrating Monday afternoon for Gautrain commuters after lengthy delays in train services between Tshwane and Johannesburg.
Users shared videos and posts on X showing a view from inside what appears to be a train stuck between the Midrand and Marlboro stations.
According to commuters, the delay was more than an hour and some passengers feared it may affect the service to OR Tambo International Airport.
Gautrain spokesperson Kesagee Nayager confirmed the delay, saying it only affected the north-south line.
“We had a [technical problem] which resulted in trains on the north-south line being delayed by 75 minutes. Trains on the airport service are on schedule,” she said.
“The train service has ended for the day and it should be back on schedule tomorrow morning [Tuesday] when we start services.”
