Depot Modernisation

6

Design and construct (5) fully functional

modern maintenance depots that will be

able to support and service:

– PRASA’s new metro trains by the time

the first new train sets are delivered in

2016.

– PRASA’s existing metro trains up until

2034.

– MTEF R1.9bn

Cranes

Signaling Renewal

7

• Current Signaling: Only 14% not exceeded design life; obsolete technology;

challenge with maintenance and spares

• Commencing immediately with building blocks towards envisioned signaling

system (in cab):

• Replace current signaling (interlocking).

• New train control centres.

• Increase operational safety, capacity and train performance.

• Align first phase signaling installation with new rolling stock delivery program.

• Phase 1: ± R7 billion

• The upgrade of line speeds for PRASA network to 120km/h

(160km/h for express trains on priority lines where possible)– Pretoria to Germiston Section to be prioritised (Pta – Jhb Express:

±20min saving)

• Replacement of rails, turnouts, sleepers etc.

• Drainage upgrading, ballast screening, refurbish rails via

grinding,

• Re-alignment of track and capacity improvements

• Upgrade of OHTE and Traction Substations

• MTEF – R1.6bn

Funding Rail Operations

13

• Downscaling of Metrorail subsidy over the last few years

• Although 7.5% increase in Subsidy for t2015/16, subsidy decreased by 19%

in real terms over the last 2 financial years

• NDP recommends the expansion of regional and long distance passenger rail

service to link rural /urbanised areas to cities. Lack of MLPS subsidy

• Due Diligence Study – MLPS requires R800m pa

• Open Rail System - Fare Evasion

Corridor Densification

14

• Network Expansion is dependent on Stakeholder Management (Taxi Industry) and

Planning Authorities

• Motherwell

• Blue Downs

• Bara Link

• Moloto Corridor

• Spatial Development – responsibilities of Local Government

• Optimisation of PRASA land adjacent to rail corridors

• Accelerated Commercialisation and Value Capture

Transnet / PRASA Relations

15

• PRASA has a Interface, contractual and commercial relationship

• PRASA is totally reliant on Transnet for network access and support in

Metrorail Eastern Cape and for MLPS

• Commercial value of Transnet contracts with PRASA is worth R1bn pa

• Relationship between the parties has been marked with disputes on delivery

by TRANSNET entities, performance and payments/debts due to Transnet.

• Contractual agreement between the parties is outdated, one-sided and lacks

effective performance measures (original asset split between the organisations

has changed substantially since 1990)

• Progress has been made in settling outstanding debts, re-negotiating the

contracts and re-establishing management and interface structures.

• Priority for negotiation between the parties is for fair and discounted charges

• policy intervention.

Skills and Human Capital Development

16

• Additional funding for the technical and key skills required for the

modernization programme.

• Lack of adequate accredited trains in the operational and technical field

• RAIL Key Technical Skills vacancies for 2015 e.g. 786 signalling skills

required as per the skills analysis only 246 warm bodies currently.

• Rolling Stock Fleet renewal programme – projected to train 19500

unemployed people in technical and operational skills

• Need to train 1200 additional train drivers

• 500 additional security personnel to be train.

Signalling Project – 567 – additional employees to train to meet business needs

Protection Services – 500 – additional security personnel to be trained
