“Re Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe
“Kindly note that the following will be applicable to all reservations for travel after 1 July 2009.

“Timetable and fare sheet subject to change without prior notification.

“INDEMNITY:-
Please be advised that Transnet Limited, who currently operates the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe service between George and Mossel Bay, will be exiting the management and operation of this service in the course of 2009. Mindful of the important role that the Choo-Tjoe plays in preserving our steam rail heritage, Transnet is currently in discussions with relevant stakeholders to find a new entity to take over the management and operation of the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe in future.

“As there may be changes to the train schedule under new management, Transnet can unfortunately not be held liable for any loss, damages or costs incurred as a result of changes or cancellations made as from 1 July 2009. The customer hereby indemnifies and holds Transnet harmless against any loss or damages suffered by or claims made against Transnet by the customer as a result of or in connection with any such changes or cancellations.

“Your continued support of the Choo Tjoe , which is vital to ensure that this icon is preserved for future generations to admire and enjoy, is sincerely appreciated.”
