GALLERY: Gautrain passengers trapped
Johannesburg - Gautrain passengers were left annoyed and panicked after they were trapped for hours after a technical problem brought the train to a grinding halt.
Commuters were heading to Midrand when the train suddenly came to a stop and they were forced to wait for a rescue train for almost three hours, while the doors were closed and there was little ventilation, reported the
TimesLive.
A Gautrain spokesperson confirmed that the train was stopped for technical reasons but claimed the delay was only for about 90 minutes while a rescue train was sent to pick up commuters.
Train doors were apparently opened only after a pregnant woman had a panic attack.
Commuters said it didn’t look like Gautrain officials were properly prepared to the situation.
