Hi all,
More sad news from the "OFS".
Have learnt that the old Railways have more woe's on
the way. Madame wanted to sell everything now a big
deficit is expected, which will affect staff & services.
At the present moment Monday 15/02/2009 there are
only two revenue earning trucks of lime on the Goldfields.
The car train is now routed via Kimberley, not
through Kroonstad, why no one knows? Only Shosholoza Meyl
running staff will man their own locomotives on Sundays.
All other Transnet [Spoornet] staff off Saturdays 14h00
until Sundays 22h00. Operating will close Saturdays
14h00 to Sundays 14h00, & then only open to serve the
few S/M trains.
No overtime & only 2 hours Sunday time for Transnet staff.
It would seem that the old Railways, we all knew & loved,
has finally come off the rails & possible more line closures
are on the way. Starting with the few branch lines still in use
& then some of other "main lines"?
John & Jacque.
