Have a look at the pictures below. I have seen pictures of the digging, burying, building and more at the Gautrain sites but I have yet to see images of the actual train that people will be using.
Here they are:

I thought the train would look a little more high-tech like those high-speed trains in Tokyo etc.
Scoop!! nonetheless.

Hey Bhex,
If you don’t think it’ll work, then don’t use it. It’ll make space for people who actually want to use it and need it. Best you perk up your outlook or stay at home I think.

Eish bafowethu… I am a seasoned train surfer, cannot wait for it to arrive, me and my crew will be surfing on top of the roof from JHB to Pretoria

Hi there,
You can see some stunning pics on our website http://www.gautrain.co.za/img_gal/
You can also post your comments and content on our history blog where we document the history of Gautrain through the eyes of the people.

I think its gonna be fantastic. Its just the beginning, Remember the train system in England started 100 years ago, one line at a time. We on the right track:)

I will sure surf this one, right on it’s first day of launch. Train surfing is in my blood and I can wait to test new territories like the top of Gautrain or the fastest one in Japan.

very nice well done SA, but the engineers made a killing for sure they are living large.

@ 20slenda and Thusman, If you guys are kidding: Those are the worst jokes Iv heard in months. If you’re not: Please surf it on its first day so that you can die and the rest of us proud and responsible S.A citizens like Nic and I can get on with doing our bit to ensure that the name of our country is clean and presentable. VIVA SOUTH AFRICA, wouldn’t wanna be anywhere in the world right now.
