Gautrain state of good repair : three years after the first trains were commissioned

Abstract

With government-owned assets and the sustainability of service delivery a primary objective, the "State of Good Repair" of the Gautrain rapid rail system will in future play a fundamental role in determining its quality and ability to deliver a world-class transportation service.

This article gives a broad overview of a study that was carried out to determine the Gautrain's State of Good Repair
