GAUTRAIN TESTS SANDTON LINE
Posted on 09 March 2010 by Railways Africa Editor
Gautrain test running is now in progress every day between 06:00 and 02:00 the following morning, Mondays to Sundays.
Due to the tight schedule, testing and commissioning requirements are very demanding. Noise levels are being evaluated to ensure that prescribed limits are not exceeded. Train hooting is being minimised during the night and early hours to avoid any unnecessary disturbance.
Sandton Station is underground beneath Rivonia Road, between West Street and Fifth Avenue. It will border the Sandton Library and Nelson Mandela Square. At Sandton, passengers will be able to choose between the airport and commuter services.
Travellers whose journeys originate at other stations will need to change platforms in order to use the airport service. It will be possible to do this without having to leave the station or pass through ticket gates in the station concourse.
