I think this is such an achievement I watched it marching across the ground in Midrand over a year till they tested the first train.

The speed and finish of the project its scop and immensity I think is lost on most people who just see a pile of building sand which is sad
Hats off to the engineers and planners I am one very proud to have seen this amazing development that will place us in the same league as major cities in the world where someone does not have to fetch me from the airport

Every few years, the engineers toiling to supply energy to the world achieve advances that qualify as game changers. But often, the breakthroughs go unnoticed.

That may be because energy companies hate to broadcast details of their cutting-edge technology to rival firms. Or the key improvements may be too subtle to impress outsiders.

I would be interested to know if the designers of the Gautrain project are using Universal Design Consultants, or Access consultants, to ensure that the project will be fully accessible throughout to all members of society. Given the dearth of regulations in this regard, with relation to accessibility on public transport in South Africa, I would be interested if (and indeed which!) international best practices are being followed.
