8.3.2 Implementation of the National Rail Plan<br />

The Regional Rail Plan presents a business plan and business case for the Southern<br />

African Rail Commuter Corporation (SARCC) – now adays called the Passenger Rail<br />

Agency of South Africa (PRASA) - motivating and setting out the expenditure required<br />

turning the rail business around. The Southern Gauteng (Wits) Regional Rail Plan<br />

follow ed the National Passenger Rail Transport Plan (Phase 1), w hich proposed an<br />

emphasis on those rail transport corridors where all role players were convinced that<br />

this w as the best mode of transport for a particular corridor. The service levels on<br />

these corridors will be substantially increased. For the other rail corridors, the status<br />

quo w ould be maintained.<br />

Note:<br />

The rail corridors referred to in the Southern Gauteng Rail Plan that are<br />

applicable to SDM are:<br />

• Vereeniging to Kw aggastroom; and<br />

• Vereeniging to Elsburg.<br />

The Vereeniging to Kw aggastroom corridor terminates before it riches the<br />

boundary between <strong>Sedibeng</strong> and Johannesburg at the Residentia Station.<br />

The Vereeniging to Elsburg corridor extents beyond the boundary between<br />

<strong>Sedibeng</strong> and Ekhurhuleni. The station closest to such boundary is Klipriver<br />

Station.<br />

TABLE 8.1 contains the results of an assessment and categorisation of existing rail<br />

corridors in Gauteng according to the so-called “Netw orks Approach”. The follow ing<br />

definitions are used:<br />

• Category A: Clear case for rail. High service levels, w ith high frequencies &<br />

good facilities. Rail is clearly more appropriate & cost effective than other<br />

modes.<br />

• Category B: Rail still justified and has service levels with Moderate<br />

frequencies.<br />

• Category C: Case for rail uncertain.<br />

• Category D: No case for rail.<br />
