Challenges facing Commuter Rail
• Despite visible improvements, commuter rail services remain on a ‘knife edge’– A major incident in one region could trigger a A major incident in one region could trigger a
crisis in the entire system, Tshwane Train crisis in the entire system, Tshwane Train Burnings an exampleBurnings an example
• Underlying causes of Poor Performance:– Enormous Infrastructure backlog of over R25bn– Aged Assets (resulting in high failure rate)– Huge Operational Risks (overcrowding & risk of
stampede)– Skills shortage
![Page 15: SARCC Strategic Plan and Budget: 2008/09](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814524550346895db1eb59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Punctuality• Safety• Cleanliness• Revenue etc
– Delivering long term infrastructure to secure rail as backbone of public passenger transport
– Laying foundation for future growth e.g. New Generation Rolling Stock
![Page 18: SARCC Strategic Plan and Budget: 2008/09](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814524550346895db1eb59/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Turning Passenger Rail Around Cont…
The Turn Around Strategy is divided into three phases:
• Stabilisation (2007 – 2010): – securing feasible short term goals by region and corridor– investments intended to make early and material impact
• Recovery (2011 – 2014): – building on stabilisation phase– Increase patronage– deploying new rolling stock etc
• Growth phase (2015 – 2030): – expanding the rail network significantly
