Gautrain expansion feasibility study to be completed by March

The feasibility of expanding the commuter rail Gautrain from Lanseria through Honeydew to Sandton, build an additional line from Mamelodi, north-east of Pretoria, to Naledi, west of Johannesburg, and extend the service from OR Tambo International Airport to Boksburg will be completed by March next year, says Gautrain Management Company CEO Jack van der Merwe. The expansion could result in 200 km of new railway line and eight new stations being built. The expansion will form part of the 25-year Gauteng Integrated Transport Master Plan and will integrate with the new Ekurhuleni bus rapid transit (BRT) system, called Harambee.
