Couple of photos taken at a very windy Fish Hoek station this afternoon, fairly busy.

Beach weather and railways. CT is the place to be!

Thats fantastic. Was it taken from the air or the mountain behind Fish Hoek?

[allanroy]

It was taken from the top of the mountain ( Elsies Peak )

Fish Hoek station is under going a make over, new paving outside, new signs , fire hydrants been put in etc. then the other day the noticed that all the name boards on the platforms have been replaced with new ones, and there is no more afrikaans only english name boards.

WAARS DIE AFRIKAANS HEEN???

[Steve Appleton]

Luca, do not worry nie! Since when was "hoek" an English word? "Fish Hoek" is tweetalig.

[Luca Lategan]

Ja ja. I saw today that "Eersterivier" and "Kuilsrivier" has new signboards in Afrikaans. "Vlottenburg" is still carrying the weird name "Vottenburg" and "Tygerberg" is still known as such, "Kaapstad" is "Cape Town" though...

PS. I doubt the new "Century City" station to begin operation on Monday will be known as "Eeustad" :)

And Simons Town has had all its boards replaced to, No more Simons stad only Simons Town.

Nice one Luca "Euestad". Can you imagine.
