News24 reports that Metrorail confirmed on Tuesday that another train has been torched in Cape Town due to apparent commuter frustration.
The train was set alight at Nyanga Junction at 17:00 on Monday, gutting three carriages. Spokesperson Riana Scott advised that the fire brigade managed to douse the flames and no injuries were reported. "The action appeared to have been in response to trains having to temporarily terminate at Nyanga while Metrorail technicians were in the process of fixing defective track circuits on the Chris Hani and Kapteinsklip routes," Scott said. Trains bound for Chris Hani and Kapteinsklip were delayed by more than 60 minutes while technicians repaired the circuits.
