Rail: Network Status Quo

Branch Lines Strategy

Th il k i l ifi d iThe railway network is classified into

The Core Network (about 12 800 km)

Branch lines (about 7 300 km)

Transnet’s branch lines strategy provides for concessioning to private operators

Approval has been granted by the Minister of Public Enterprises in terms of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999.Public Finance Management Act, 1999.

Transnet is currently

doing feasibility studies to determine the viability of each concession opportunity for private operators; andopportunity for private operators; and

in discussions with the NDOT to finalise a sustainability plan for the branch lines strategy, in line with government policy for:

R l d l tRural development;
