Lets hope that ESKOM and/or other (private) providers will be able to generate additional low-cost electricity to power the trains.

If that happens then Transnet Rail (spoornet) should begin the process of aquiring High-speed trainsets.The obvious choice will be from Bombardier-Zefiro.The main aim will to realise Cecil John Rhodes vision of the abandoned Cape Cairo Railway Project.The corridor will follow the original route linking Cape Town, Harare, Lusaka, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia and eventually Egypt.Samuel has other exciting ideas for Railway Projects for Cape Town and will forward these shortly to relevant authorities.
