Transnet is currently investing more than R300 billion in infrastructure development to rejuvenate the economy, create jobs and address poverty and inequalities. Of this amount, R201 billion has been assigned to Transnet freight rail to expand its rail infrastructure to create capacity and increase cargo volumes.

Over the next three years Government will be spending approximately R22.9 billion to upgrade commuter rail services according to the 2014 Budget Speech. This means that focus will be placed on rail services, making this the ideal time to upgrade your railway engineering knowledge and skills.
