LONG-DISTANCE rail operator Shosholoza Meyl will be back on track by the end of November after a three-month dispute with state-owned Transnet saw its services suspended.
"Shosholoza Meyl ... announces the re-instatement of its train service and the reviewed schedule which will be fully implemented end of November 2010," the Passenger Rail Agency of SA said in a statement yesterday.
Bookings for December and January for the chartered train service are already open.
"In the past weeks, we had to reduce a number of our trains due to, amongst others, the unreliability of locomotives which inconvenienced our passengers to a large extent," Shosholoza Meyl head Paul Zikhali said in the statement.
