SABC News reports that according to Gautrain Chief Executive Officer Tshepo Kgobe, train services between Rosebank Station and Park Station could resume by next week.
IIllegal borehole drilling activity on a private property compromised a section of the Gautrain tunnel system, causing water and soil to seep through. As a result, services between Park Station and Rosebank have been halted since Saturday. Bus services have been scaled up to mitigate the disruption. Kgobe indicated: “We are looking at it to be in place for this week at least. And we have already decided on the method of repair and that in itself will take about a week, and then with us making sure that in the coming week we could then return to proper service. “
