Gautrain extension project, South Africa
Name and Location
Gautrain extension project, Gauteng, South Africa.
Client
Gauteng Management Agency (GMA).
Project Description
The extension of the Gautrain will include a link from the existing Gautrain Park station to Westgate; a link from the existing Gautrain Rhodesfield station to Boksburg; a link from the existing Gautrain Sandton station to Randburg and Honeydew; and a link from Naledi, in Soweto, to Mamelodi, through either the proposed Gautrain Samrand station, or the existing Gautrain Midrand station.
This extension will include stations at Blue Hills, Sunninghill, Fourways, Cosmo City and Ruimsig. Ultimately, the plan is to have four Gautrain lines, adding to the Pretoria–Johannesburg and Sandton–OR Tambo International Airport links.

Latest Developments
The GMA expects to start feasibility studies on the 200 km of proposed extensions to the Gautrain, as approved by the Gauteng government, in the next three months. The environmental-impact assessment for the Gautrain route extensions will also start in the next 12 to 24 months. Gautrain system enhancements, more than two years away, include securing the funds from government for the proposed route extensions. As a cost illustration, a train travelling on the ground costs R1, a train in the air R10 and a train underground R100.
