The derailment of a train at Netreg station in Bonteheuwel has resulted in the postponement of the planned resumption of the central line service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident took place between Heideveld and Netreg stations in the early morning of Thursday, 18 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, Metrorail says technicians are on site to re-rail the carriages and repair the track: \u201cThe recovery could take several hours, but Metrorail will keep commuters informed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRegrettably, Metrorail has no buses to assist and commuters are requested to make alternative arrangements until the service is able to resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Golden Arrow Bus Services have been approached to assist and arrangements will be communicated on confirmation,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metrorail regional manager, Richard Walker, says preliminary indications are that a vandalised points machine contributed to the derailment. \u201cA board of inquiry will determine the cause of the derailment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commuters have been advised to utilise social media channels, subscribe to receive text alerts or to contact the City of Cape Town\u2019s Information Call Centre toll-free service on 0800 65 64 63 to ensure they are aware of any last minute changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
