Johannesburg to Springs and Johannesburg to Pretoria
For once something great to see. If we had this 15 even 10 years ago on all lines, imagine where we could be today
We did have it 15 10 years even even we have had trains since 1860
The littering along this trainline is insane😮😮..We have to clean after ourselves as South Africans.
Amen!!!
I'm beyond happy to see this,
Hoping that vandals will STOP destroying public property
Exactly! Our people litter so much, don't know what's wrong with them. I hate littering with all my heart. It starts with the mindsets and attitudes of people though, they've got this sick attitude of, "I'm creating employment for someone, they'll pick up after me". A disgrace really. If you wouldn't do it in your own house, why do it in your environment/surroundings?
So true we must really start calling each other out on it
A very disgusting habit that most people don't see any problem with .it drives me up the wall whenever I see someone do it.
So glad to see the railway system back online. It is by far the cheapest mode of travel that our low income earners rely on. Mostly street vendors, cleaners, security guards and general workers have relied on it for years. Four systems relaunched around the country has given hope to more to come
❤❤❤❤❤ true
I hope it gets developed even more that we don't see the need to own cars
@@nkosinathindlovu3059 public transport really makes meet different people
Yet they are the ones that regularly destroy it. Why do they get rewarded by getting new trains first? Go back in history to see who broke our perfectly functioning locally built railways. Such anarchist, destructive behaviour doesn't suit a developed, civilised nation. Where is our national pride, our patriotism?
Well it's never been offline
Father God Please Protect this Train Project from all the ills. We missed our trains very much. We thank you God And The Folks who worked hard to BRING OUR TRAINS BACK. Bless them. A big TASK TO KEEP skelms away, help them We Pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus.Amen🛐🇿🇦
Amen!
Thank you.👏
Amen we call HIS name to protect our progress 🙏
Amen
the government needs to learn advertise its achievements 😂😂 i didn’t know they finally got shit together with these trains ffs
🇿🇦🏆✔️
So proud of SA! Now we should focus on the line between Pretoria and Hammanskraal 🙏🏿
🇿🇦🏆✔️
This country can go places, if we just get rid of corruption
Good luck with that
Bullshit, this is such a shithole country, an embarrassment to the world, it's a bloody 4th world country...
We need to get rid of low class scavengers like Malema
This is progress, the trains are a necessity for our people!
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Its great to see Rail in Johannesburg again. I will definitely be going for a ride on the new coaches.
Hope you enjoy it! 🇿🇦🏆✔️
I really appreciate your videos and comments about South Africa you always show all the positive side of the country. You are very special person. Most people always show the negative. Well done and keep up with the up with the good job
Thank you. 🇿🇦🏆✔️
So you only want to see the positive ??......how do you do that when the negative far outweighs the positive in SA,....????....no use playing ostrich politics ....by putting your head in a hole and hope the problems will disappear...!.
We thank God for this upgrade
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Nice video, the new trains are great just hope they don't vandalised them
We hope so too 🇿🇦🏆✔️
They will give 'em time
The long Distance Shosholoza Meyl trains are amazing, they have luxury car, the Premiere Classe, you should do it
Great suggestion! We are waiting for them to be ready.
What I love about Africa is that a black man can point at a cop and not ultimately be shot to death or arrested but merely receive a greeting back. Its the small things that make us feel safe
They are very friendly.
Black people are harder to police all over the world 😢 not only in Africa !! Jamaica, Haiti and other Caribbean islands. I believe it is the training of our police officer, they oppressed the people.
@@waynemcfarlane1233 I don't think that is what I am talking about. Here I am talking about black law abiding citizens feeling safe around law enforcement the same way white people have enjoyed for years. Whatever you are talking about doesn't make sense. In my continent I feel safe around police all the time
Tell me something ...what has your feelings towards the police got to do with this post ..?..we are commenting on the new trains taht will be a huge relief to everybody.......and here you come with your racist ...anti white ...political agenda .......!!!....Zip it ..!!!!.@@RastaAfricanGentleman
Wth are you talking about?? 😂😂😂😂
I traveled by train in Melbourne Australia whilst on holiday. Purchase a card that could be use multiple times. I am so proud of how our new trains they look so good. Very neat and seems safe.
All at the tax payers expense, not one train line going into white suburbs? Amazing isn't it, the racism and cognitive dissonance that's currently being shoveled down tax payers throats
Thanks for sharing!
Well done South Africa. Very beautiful
🇿🇦🏆✔️
But we've had them since 2016
This isn’t anything new in terms of railwaylines, just new trains replacing old ones that had been running for decades since the 1970s
I love it. The MetroRail line between Pretoria and Johannesburg via Germiston is also now running a limited service. For now you need to change trains at Germiston and Kempton Park to complete that journey unfortunately, and cancellations and issues with the network are still common on that section. But things are definitely changine - and hopefully this momentum carries on. They are also still working on increasing the speed and frequency of those Naledi line trains - by bringing some of those additional tracks you saw back into service again. The Gauteng MetroRail network has many challenges (as it was quite old and neglected even before the vandalism happened) but it's been exciting to see the steady progress that has been made to restoring service bit by bit.
Thanks for your testimony we will be working on it.
This is beautiful. Well done to prasa. This makes me happy
🇿🇦🏆✔️
This is the affordable mode of transport in SA in these difficult economic times
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Wonderful content showing casing trains, Davido. As long as security and laws inside that beautiful train are enforced and adhered to, we are all going to fill up the trains once more. 🎉🎉🎉❤
Many thanks! More to come.🇿🇦🏆✔️
Why need security if people know how to conduct themselves in an educated way? I don't need police to make me honest. I am raised well, no need to be nannied. Our people should grow up and do the adult thing.
Welldone the ANC government. Great job indeed. ❤❤❤❤❤
South Africa is far ahead, please safeguard this jewel of Africa!
🇿🇦🏆👌✔️
This is great but the infrastructure is so badly vandalized that it is going to cost billions to get the whole country going again. I have seen kms and kms of cable stolen on KZN South Coast. How that can happen without any arrests beats me. The people of South Africa definitely deserve something bet then the taxis.
It will be done, give it time.
I'm an Orlando Pirates follower the legendary Orlando Pirates player Jerry Skhosana is my Uncle his the reason today i adore the team what makes me happy is we have our own stadium in Township which is one of the biggest, beautiful and safest stadia in Africa. I commend PRASA and department of state companies for upgrading our trains because it's far cheaper to use a train than catch a taxi especially for majority of use working class Africans who live from a salary alone which is low to cover our whole expenses for the whole month.
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Reminds me of the book: The Dube Train....lovely stuff
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Nice 1 ..l am actually from Naledi not far from the train station so I frequently use the new train.
Nice one. I lived in Soweto before moving to the north and used to catch a train from Inhlazane Station to Park Station. Hope security has been improved inside trains.
@@jobesithole5590 totally they are very safe
Thanks for your testimony 🇿🇦🏆✔️👌
This remind me when I was still using the train to travel from Naledi to Braamfontein Boston College, the train used to get so full. My hand was injured when I was pushed inside the train and people where shouting " ngena nae"
Sorry to read that.
you've taught me more about JHB that the people who live there
relax
Big up to my Rasta. Very intelligent guy.
He is.
So heart warming. Can we please take care of our things
We really should my sister. Unfortunately there are people who hate this government to such an extent that they won't hesitate to sabotage the infrastructure to drive the point home that this government is not delivering.
Amen to that 🇿🇦✔️🏆
Proud to be South African!
🇿🇦🏆✔️👌
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Well done South Africa,the real Rainbow nation
Takes me back to my childhood. I wonder if the jikeleza is still around.
Seeeing this bring soo much memories, ❤
🇿🇦🏆✔️👌
Wow 😯, amazing trip. Next time take it from Joburg to Pretoria(Mabopane). Those new buildings in Braam are new student accommodation.
Thanks for the tips!🇿🇦🏆✔️
Hey man seeing you already going to places like Soweto could you please also come to the East rand places like Alberton?, there's really some good development this side
Of course, let me know what specifically you would like to see.
Finally life would be so much easier.
🇿🇦🏆✔️
I come from Moletsane. Our train station is Merafe. This is what we used to go to Johannesburg town when I was growing up. Taxis were a bit expensive for most people. Brings back childhood memories. ❤
In Pretoria been using these blue trains since 2015 mostly in mamelodi
🇿🇦🏆✔️
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you lord i won't pay for taxi anymore free transport is back
We need to be clean we can’t accept this: I like that
Amen!🇿🇦🏆✔️
I hope each and every commuter of prasa trains will be paying for this service rendered to them this time around. 🙏
🇿🇦🏆✔️👌
Nice video this took me back to my student days traveling by train from Nhlazane to Braamfontein Saturday school in Wits ❤
🇿🇦🏆✔️
I'm moving back to Soweto👏👌
Hope they dont destroy this
Only if we have hard lock down again 🇿🇦🏆✔️
Glad to see the new trains in that Naledi line. Mzimhlophe is my hood
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Train looks good for sure!
For sure🇿🇦🏆✔️
That's interesting.
I ❤ trains, trams, take a ride, I have a folder on ''transportation''
(folder 2, in playlists) you will love them too :)
It’s a nostalgic journey through the rail way! I remember each and every station. It brought back childhood memories. It’s good to see the trains back in motion. It’s going to help commuters to save a bit in transportation between home and work/school. Thank you for the meaningful content.
Pleasure. Thanks for your comment 🇿🇦👌🏆✔️
This makes me happy keep it up guys❤
🇿🇦🏆✔️
ive never been on that train is good.. perhaps i must try one day
You must hey. 🇿🇦🏆✔️
I taught about the following trip.
From Hatfield Station with Gautrein till Park Station.
Then interchange to Metrorail and go east with the line that goes through Kempton Park all the way back to Hatfield Station .
Or reversed.
So kinda like a circle journey.
We will cover it. 🇿🇦🏆✔️
I live at Pretoria I already have a ride with this new train two years ago is so comfortable
@@estherrametsi727 thanks for your testimony. 🏆🇿🇦✔️👌
I'm glad to see the Prasa trains starting operation after the pandemic 🎉
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Park Station is a Former Shadow of itself, taking trains in 2014, from 15:00 pm trains were always coming in and out every 10 minutes, Vereegining via Midway and via Germiston, Naledi via Mayfair and Joburg south, Springs, Daveyton, Tembisa, Pretoria, Randfontein, Westerneria, and not to mention Long Distance trains every evening, all until Mbalula became minister of Transport. Nice to see the revival
This reminds me of subways in New York
😂🇿🇦🏆✔️
beautiful content, well enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it 🇿🇦🏆✔️
Nice train. Good to see that people can travel by train for under R20. Really enjoyed your conversation and pointing out landmarks.
Thank you very much!🇿🇦👌🏆✔️
Love to see it!
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Wow awesome.
Thank you! Cheers! 🇿🇦🏆✔️
nice content... i also just covered this route recently. very nice ride
It is hey🇿🇦🏆✔️
Thanks for the content👌
My pleasure! 🇿🇦🏆✔️
My brother you don't have to alight at Mzimhlophe to go to Vilakazi. Phepheni station is the nearest.
Thnx for honoring my request ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for making this request. I am a great lover of trains 🚆. This vlogg has made my day.
Thanks for making this request. As a lover of trains, this vlogg has made my day.
Most welcome 😊 you guys suggest and we will do it.
Well done david i enjoyed your ride and Im happy to see trains back again they must revive Germiston line now and long distance including goods trains because so many trucks on the road are causing accidents.
Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed it. 🏆🇿🇦✔️
You are completely right brother
Such great content. I have to say if PRASA can do this in all major metro's then South African public transportation is on the rise.
Are all metrorail lines using the new trains?
Yes, I have seen them in Cape Town, Ekurhuleni, and Joburg. Pretoria have been using this new trains before Covid
I really enjoyed the trip,I use to take the train from Joburg to Mlanlankunzi sometimes to Mzimhlope.And I sometimes took the train from Mlanlankunzi to Lenz.You reminded me of my home town Kliptown.
So clean. Looks great
It does!🇿🇦🏆✔️
Looks just like a New York Subway🔥
I remember back in 2003 when I came to to from Free State I used the train from Vaal to Soweto and I was robbed of my money left with coin. They two fingered me of my notes money then and luckily we were using public phones.
Glad to see my neighborhood Naledi. I stay next to train depot, was hoping to see it or hear about it. An hour before returning back wouldn't have been bad. 5 minutes walk from the station is Shoprite Naledi you would've gotten something better to eat.
Time was too little. Thanks for the tip.👌
❤❤❤❤good to see
Hi David, would love to see a trip on Shoshaloza Meyl train HB to Durban
These trains look good, so do the stations. We need safety now
I'm so grateful for discovering this channel❤🙌
Thanks for the amazing comment 😊🇿🇦✔️👌
I love how the dude says, Oh no there's still a lot of work to be done :) No dude, the work was done, they broke it down to that state, it's not in a state of busy building. Otherwise cool video guys, It's really cool they got these trains going. If we can get this through the whole of SA it would be awesome.
Yes I am well aware of it. 👌 I did a lot of historical work for the channel regarding the railway industry in 🇿🇦
Lovely video guys thanks to Prasa for the new upgrades
🇿🇦🏆✔️
great to see something is moving on rails again ... Sad to see such n big station hub not in full use like it was years ago
Let's give it a few more months 🇿🇦👌🏆✔️
At 2:59 a billboard with an important message appears in the video; CALL YOUR MOTHER.
😂😂😂😂
Love to see this!
Outstanding! Now I know how i can get the best Magwinya on a Saturday morning. The best ones are always in the Kasi.
Enjoy!🇿🇦🏆👌✔️
Appreciate the updates, cant wait for the shozaloza to start running through the Karoo.The old brown trains very nostalgic.
We can't wait to be inside the train to the Karoo
We are having a problem of tracks thats why this going so slow
Cape Town's My Citi also no eating, not drinking but the lawless South African's do as they like
How to people on wheelchairs get not these trained because it look like the door was almost 30 cm from the ramp?
It is a very good question
Dumani...93..All Change..Jikeleza..Those that know..know
Beautiful trains...!!!!...Lets see for how long they will stay like this ...!!!!!...This is South Africa ..remember....?.......No hope though ...!!!!
They have been doing very well 🇿🇦👌🏆✔️
Excellent stuff you guys, love your work. Mohau, it's your old friend from Lolibenhof 8th floor in Braamfontein back in 2006 lol 😂.
Is the a line that goes from Park Station to Centurion?
loving this.
hopefully the taxi mafia doesn't get jealous
We're so back, baby.
Yes we are!!!🇿🇦🏆✔️
Wow the trains look awesome
They are! 🇿🇦🏆
Nice one 👌👌
Thanks for liking 🇿🇦🏆✔️
I missing park station yay yay hooray soo happi
🇿🇦🏆✔️
Got a sub from me for this video. Great stuff.
4:00 The Zimbabwean train’s are still designed like that probably an old colonial design the brown and cream white.😅
Under ZANU-PF Zimbabwe has no hope for meaningful progress.
haha I was just thinking, imagine if these blue trains were to be introduced in Zim.Zbc would bombard us after every 5min with praises to Munangarwa for ushering in a new era to the 2nd republic 😊
But I heard they want to build some metro lines in Harare actually dose anyone know something about that?
@@nyoni_tour6677 Zim things is all talk and politicking.Look at their current trainwagons, they're more than 50years old-all from the Rhodesian era
Those mine dumps are apparently also radioactive, and have given Joburg the unfortunate title of the most radioactive city in the world.
It is on the top 30, but far from 1st place. 🇿🇦🏆✔️👌
amazing trains... the taxi association should not even try to damage these trains
They will for sure ....then the police will stand by doing nothing .....This is SA...!!!!
18:36 I know what you did there....precaution mode.
Not really, I was just afraid that the doors will not close because I was standing there. Didn't want to delay the train. These trains are beautiful and safe pieces of technology.
Mamelodi, Pretoria had these in 2016...
They only started building these trains in 2018
Locally we started to build them in 2018, but the first 20 trains delivered in south africa were done by Alstom in Brazil.
@@nnn8502 but I was riding these trains in 2016 from Pienaar to Bosman in Pretoria
Ramaphosa work is starting to manifest. 🙏
I hope that the regular passengers will keep them clean and not deteriorate them
