15 January 2007
The George / Knysna line is still closed after heavy rain caused severe flood
damage between George and Wilderness in early August 2006. A landslide directly
above the railway line at Dolphins point remains the issue of concern, as a
solution to stabilize/secure the slip needs to be agreed upon by all parties
involved before any repair work could be undertaken. Only once the go ahead has
been received repair work can start and it will then take a further 6 to 8
months before the train will be operating on this beautiful scenic route.
Currently all efforts are made in solving this problem and the matter has been
referred to the Minister of Public Enterprise and Minister of Tourism for their
intervention to get the Choo Tjoe operational again.
With the above in mind we are continuing with the alternative route as follows.

SEPTEMBER 2006
Provisionally
the George / Knysna line has been closed until further notice due to the unsafe
conditions below the “slip” at Kaaimanspass. When this slip occurs, damage
will be caused to the railway line below, resulting in further delays. We cannot
run the risk of reintroducing the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe on this section of line
until we have received the assurance of the various authorities that it is safe
to operate.
With
the above in mind we are introducing an alternative route as follows.
