Finally! Kuils River Shuttle!

FINALLY! The unthinkable happened! Metrorail put Kuils River back on the map!



This morning, for the first time I've been a Metrorail Commuter, a train actually left Kuils River station, destination Cape Town at 06h30. And wonder by wonder, it was an EXPRESS train exclusively for Metro Plus ticket holders... * Smiles-all-around * Read article here...


I must say... for the first time that this service ran... the train was QUITE full. Okay, maybe its expected with  the way Metrorail has operated their services over the last couple of months. But I guess that the Business Express has opened their eyes - noticing the amount of people requesting access to a train from the Kuils River station as base! All you need do is look around and see how the area has evolved over the years. Also if you look at how full / empty certain trains go once the train passed Kuils River station!

The train also runs in the afternoon, at 16h15 from Cape Town station, Platform 21. Unfortunately the train was not announced on the "normal" boards and the train was a tad empty. But all in all I think it was memorable for a first run.

For once I want to say: Well done Metrorail... We appreciate it!  (^ ^,)
