Rovos Rail is discontinuing its Cape Town – George – Cape Town trips. The last run was scheduled for the weekend 5/6/7 March. The website no longer displays a Garden Route itinerary and lists no further operational dates after March. The second last run was on 5/6/7 February.
The company explains that the route was never a paying proposition and that economic reasons led to its withdrawal. The need to use diesel power was a very expensive factor.
[ It is understood from train staff that the condition of the track in some places leaves much to be desired.  - editor
