Passengers

Transnet Freight Rail's core business is that of moving freight.

To this effect a process is currently taking place to dispose non-core business such as passenger services within the division to allow the organisation to focus on its key freight segments of the market. While the process is not finalised Transnet Freight Rail will continue hosting the passenger sercies on its website.
