Bring Back Trains to Daveyton!

The railway network connecting Daveyton with Springs, Benoni, and Johannesburg is non-operational due to vandalism, lack of budget allocation, and general mismanagement. This makes it more expensive for Daveyton residents to travel, to find work, and to live.

We call on PRASA, the National Department of Transportation, and the Parliamentary portfolio committee on roads and transportation to:

1) Conduct an oversight visit to the station within the next 3 months to ascertain the scope of the challenges facing the station and to determine what will be required to make it functional again.

2) Consider allocating funding to restore the railway network and connect Daveyton to JHB, Springs, and Benoni within a specified timeframe.

3) Consider allocating funding to restoring the Daveyton train station, developing a long-term maintenance plan, and put in place measures to secure it from vandals within a specified timeframe.
