Metro Map

[Marc Russell]

The JHB metro map (wits west) my wife lovingly downloaded and framed.
She also included the logo in the centre

Good grief - now that is news to me! I never knew that there was such a thing! I must have a look!

It can be located on metrorail's website, when it is working

[Marc Russell]

It comes in 2 sections, east and west

There is some things about the map I don't understand e.g.
The line to Vereeniging via Meyerton indicates that it is a Spoornet line, but metrorail runs it's trains there. Also the line to Oberholzer via Midway. Germiston-Kwesne via Webber seems very confusing!
Any infomation?

Marc, I don't know the details of that line, but it's probably to do with who is responsible for the line, which in turn probably relates to who makes most use of it. In Pretoria somwhere near Pyramid or Bon Accord there's a sign by the trackside denoting the boundary between Metro and Spoornet (now TFR) responsibilities.

Seems crazy as metro is a subsidary of Transnet
