The ICT department had our monthly meeting up in Pretoria again. Wits and Tshwane take turns to hosting the departmental meeting. So we caught the Tshwane Business Express to Pretoria. Before leaving I took the opportunity to chat to the driver and sit in the driver's seat of TBE1.
I had to shoot to a meeting in Pretoria about the merging of the two intranets of Metrorail (Tshwane and Wits). So while there I took the opportunity to take a photograph the Gautrain Pretoria Terminus since I post the Braamfontein one. Not much to see other than new viaducts but they seem to be far behind the rest of the line and from what I can gather from reports that the Dolomite rock formation in the region between Centurion and Pretoria is causing headaches. (Okay those powers that be that read these posts, I am still waiting for my invite to view the Gautrain up close and personal).
Wow, what a early start. I had to be at the Pretoria Station at 5am for the introduction of the Gauteng Express. That meant that I had to leave home at 4 just to get there on time. Well I made it and all I wanted once arrived was a cup of coffee. Today’s photo is the TBE1 on the left and the new Gauteng ExpressTBE2 on the right. We were slightly delayed because of the Minister of Transport arriving late but we made up the time an arrived on schedule for the launch. It is exciting times with everything coming to head as we approach the start of the Confederation Cup soccer kick-off in just under two weeks.
