No cancellations on Blue Train

There will be no cancellations on services offered by The Blue Train.

This statement, by operating company Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), follows news that an empty 19-coach Blue Train derailed early on Sunday morning at the Union Station Loop in Germiston.

"This was a staged (unmanned) train with no passengers on board. No injuries were reported on site," said Transnet's Sibu Majozi in a statement, adding that TFR would investigate the cause of the derailment and apply remedial action where necessary.
