The service follows the successful launch of dedicated matchday trains for this past Saturday’s Test against England at Ellis Park. It gave rugby supporters an affordable way to get to the stadium.
Dedicated trains make getting to Loftus easier
PRASA will run shuttle trains between Pretoria Station and Loftus Station on Saturday, 11 July. Trains will operate every 15 minutes from 13:00 to 17:30 before the 17:40 kick-off.
After the match, services will resume from 19:45 to 20:15, allowing spectators to connect with the last Gautrain service at 20:30.
According to the rail agency, “The services form part of PRASA’s commitment to safe, reliable and affordable public transport for major national events.”
With a return ticket costing just R20, it is hands down one of the most affordable transport options for fans travelling to Loftus Versfeld rugby stadium.
Parking and travel details for supporters
Fans driving into Pretoria can also make use of limited paid parking at Pretoria Station for R50 before catching the shuttle to Loftus.
PRASA said the trains will link with the Gautrain and other transport modes, helping supporters complete the final leg of their journey without having to battle matchday congestion around the stadium.
