Hi B.C.,

Is there not any further information on the article " A Touch of Class" in your brochure?

No more information in the article STF.

This may have nothing to do with trains in KNP though. Maybe the bridge is rusting and about to collapse into the river. Maybe SANParks are trying to restore a historical piece of KNP.

But maybe they want to use it for the kingpins who are going to fly in to the Skukuza airport and stay in the hotel.

Stay tuned as SANParks have the new money vision, so there's a reason for sure

Why not ask them on their forum, I would, but can't

I wonder what revenue SParks will receive from train transport through the parks. The horror story is not what we know about, it's all about the things they have tucked up their sleeve that joe public doesn't know about.

Maybe they intend arriving "at" a park. Just a question of grammar

JUst maybe Sanparks are trying to re-live the past
faster than what we do!! Just maybe they took a hint!!!

Good points, BC!

Still don't know how they can get rolling stock in there...maybe just maintenance as you say!! $\O$

I see that the question was asked on their forum on Saturday, but no response yet $\O$

There was a but of a hoo ha on the other forum a little while back when someone saw people on the bridge and some kids too. Question was asked; who were they and what were they doing there? Apparently if my memory serves, it was a reccy to have a close look at the bridge and what shape it's in for a potential project for the HR's (I think)? No more detail forthcoming at that time. Tried to find the thread again but the search function there is next to useless. Don't think it is anything too 'sinister'.

We took these pics in April 2011

Yep that would be the ones. There was an official reply. If someone can find the thread from SP forum it will shed some light on things...maybe.
