Johannesburg Train Station Upgraded Ahead of 2010

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa has completed renovations on the Doornfontein station in Johannesburg, one of many stations being upgraded in anticipation of the World Cup.

It has access for passengers with special needs, CCTV cameras, a lengthened and resurfaced platform, and an area for retail and commercial activities. The project forms part of Prasa’s multi-million rand national station upgrade programme.

This will involve the refurbishing of the station network around the country for the 2010 Fifa World Cup and beyond.

...New stations are being built at Moses Mabhida in Durban, Windermere in Cape Town, and Rhodesfield in Johannesburg.
