THE Gautrain will start running between Johannesburg and Pretoria on Tuesday, said the transport department.
The Rosebank and Hatfield stations would open today to allow passengers to pre-purchase tickets for the new phase, said Gauteng transport MEC Ismail Vadi.
Trains would operate between 5.30am and 8.30pm every day, Vadi said in Johannesburg yesterday.
The high-speed train between Sandton and OR Tambo International Airport started operating in June 2010. The Johannesburg to Pretoria service is part of the second phase of the Gautrain project.
Vadi said the remaining section - between Rosebank and the Johannesburg CBD - would remain closed until a problem with water seepage had been sorted out.
