Depending on Covid-19 limitations, Transnet and PRASA, it is intended for the Pretoria steam train to run again from November 2020. Ticket prices, available routes and dates will only be available closer to the time.

In the mean time, I would like to share a post I have made on my Facebook business page in the hope that it might save one or more of you in making a fatal mistake, which could end in your bank repossessing your house.

We are eagerly awaiting for the Cullinan steam train to start running again to Cullinan for 2019. Apparently just waiting for Transnet and the Rail Safety Regulator agreements before they can run again. While we are all left waiting in the dark by Eskom, feel free to visit my Sociovest Fiduciary Services page.

On Friday it is a Black Friday and on that day businesses in the USA run specials on most of their products. This tradition has now reached South Africa as well. We will be running a special on Friday through Groupon on our trips early next year. If you are still wondering what to buy for a certain person, you can now consider a Friends of the Rail train ticket as a gift. It includes popular dates such as Valentines Day, our popular Easter Bunny trip, Freedom Day and Heritage Day.

It is hard work to be a volunteer at Friends of the Rail. Even the train driver can be called on for Father Christmas duties. Our Santa trips are so popular that we have decided to run 4 Santas in 2015. The dates are 6, 12,13 and 16 Dec. Please bring the family and join in the fun with a Santa trip to Cullinan. In this photo are two of our qualified drivers, Nathan, which is also our chairman, and Gabor.

Snaaks hoe Kersfees tog 'n spesiale bekoring bied. Ek weet baie se Kersfees is net 'n geldmaakstorie, maar die opwinding van 'n kind in afwagting vir sy presente is so kosbaar. Die eerste ding wat ek onthou van ons Santa ritte is die opwinding om die kinders weg te kry, sodat die ouers die presente kan ingee vir ou Vader Kersfees om uit te deel.

Two days to go for the school holidays. I was just in Checkers and they were busy unpacking Christmas decorations. That means that the Christmas season has officially started. According to me a little bit too early. Please use the holidays wisely and relax as much as possible. For those going away, please drive safely or tell the pilot to fly safely. If you are not going away, why not bring the children and book space on our 4 October train trip to Cullinan.
