Gautrain Chief Executive Officer Tshepo Kgobe says train services between Rosebank and Park Station could resume by next week.

An illegal borehole drilling activity on a private property has compromised a section of the Gautrain tunnel system, causing water and soil to seep through.

Services between Park Station and Rosebank have been halted since Saturday.

Kgobe says they have scaled up their bus services to mitigate the disruption.

“We are looking at it to be in place for this week at least. And we have already decided on the method of repair and that in itself will take about a week, and then with us making sure that in the coming week we could then return to proper service. “
