Subsequently, I read many negative remarks, complaints,etc. and had serious doubts about the trip. Well, I was pleasantly surprised!! Starting in the departure lounge, we were served delicious snacks including various cheeses, biltong, nuts and much more. When we got to our cabin, gone were the fears about no towels and so forth. Beautiful. fluffy white gowns (packaged in plastic), slippers, towels, and toiletries were supplied. The (clean) toilets sported double-ply toiletpaper and the shower was also nothing to complain about. Our train manager as well as the kitchen manager were available and helpful, dining car was promptly cleaned for the next seating and service was excellent. We had more than enough to eat, and the lady serving us in the bar was efficient and friendly. Our plugs did not work and at one time the aircon as well, this was sorted out by an on-board electrician. We experienced no delays, as a matter of fact, the train was about an hour ahead of schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and have recommended it to others as a true value-for-money experience! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

I had a Coupe for me alone for a very good price, and it was nice and comfortable. Service was perfect and very kindly. On both routes the train has been delayed for about two hours, but no problem for me, because it has been holidays. It was a great experience to go by train this long way through South Africa – to see the Great and the Little Karoo and to meet very interesting international people on the train. I sent you a few of my pictures, perhaps you can use them. I wanted to post this on your facebook - or your web-side, but didn’t know, how to do this. Again thank you very much for all you help.

The staff at Cape Town station was friendly and so helpful, within minutes our bags were taken away and loaded and we sat in the comfortable lounge drinking tea and coffee in anticipation of been called for “alllll aboard”. The call came and with excitement we boarded the train to receive welcome drinks and snacks, the smiles of everyone proof of an exciting adventure ahead, all too soon the train lurched into motion leaving Table Mountain behind in the distance under the blanket of cloud. The journey through the Winelands was exceptional and in particular the view of Hex River valley was breathtaking, it is amazing how much of South Africa you get to see when taking a train through the country side. The chukka chukka of the wheels gave such a nostalgic feel of an era gone by and had everyone relaxing, enjoying the continuous motion of train on the tracks. I was taken back to my youth where our means of travel to school and holidays was by train and felt young again. Lunch was splendid and we were amazed how such a delicious meal could be prepared on a train, every detail was attended to, course after course, the service was outstanding. We loved that we could sit and chat to strangers in the lounge, swopping holiday stories, and finding out where in the far corners of the world people were from.   We sat and just watched in awe at the vast desolate beauty of the Karoo spreading by. Afternoon tea was a treat and again we enjoyed the company of the fellow travellers. Before we knew it – dinner was served, it was fabulous and done to perfection.   Sleeping with the constant motion of the slight sway was better than any sleep tablet and we woke up to a very relaxed morning, already excited for the arrival at Johannesburg Park Station. We loved the trip and would love to do it again...This photo was taken in the Premier Classe lounge -  please pick us them winners! Kind regards Angie Kitchener

Reading that horrific write up in the Beeld made us caucious. We caught the train in Krugersdorp, the station staff were so helpful. Then what great door to door service the staff gave us on the train. The food was great. We will definitely be recommending this way of travelling to friends, see you next year God willing.

In our cabin, there was a letter asking for suggestions. We do have one! It would be nice if there was a map/guide showing the route and features to look out for and if they are on the left or the right. As it was the first time in your country, we had many questions. I do not know if it is possible but we were in cabin 4A. There was a very nice couple in 6A (Mr Mark Wade, I think) who were very informative and helpful but sadly in the mass departure at Cape Town we did not have a chance to say goodbye. If you do have the opportunity and if it is not too much trouble then please do pass on our thanks and best wishes. We have recommended your train to all that we met in South Africa. Kind regards

We are back from our trip to Durban on the Tourist Class train, and I would like to pay a HUGE compliment to Shosholoza Meyl and all their employees, whether it was on the train, or on the stations. We went on this trip with very very low expectations, and ...we were pleasantly surprised at what we found. Not only was the organization excellent, they were waiting for my car Friday morning, our names were on all the required lists, no issues with the tickets and everything went as smooth as can be, the staff everywhere was friendly and very helpful. I am a germophobiac, but for every other normal person that camps a lot, would not have found anything wrong with the cabins. It was normal train cabin dirt for a train that runs on lines with other trains and carries thousands of passengers all the time. The toilets were IMMACULATE, and clean, and very well taken care off. Again, a pleasant surprise. For supper we had the most delicious beef stew and pap, nothing fancy, but tasty food and very well prepared. Our kids had lasagna and toasted sandwiches, and again, well prepared and very tasty, and not expensive at all. We opted to take our own bedding, but we did see clean bedding being delivered for the train and loaded, so I can say, that it is indeed clean linen given. When we got to Durban, my car was waiting for me by the exit door, in the same state as I delivered it, after 5 minutes, the relevant person arrived with our key. I also had a phone call from them to confirm my car arrived, and again, very helpful and very friendly staff.

Hi Bernice. We have just had the most wonderful experience travelling on the Shosholoza Meyl Premier Classe train from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Our accommodation, which included toiletries, slippers and the loan of white, fluffy gowns was superb. Tea, coffee and warm muffins were served in the Executive lounge on Cape Town station whilst our luggage and car were put onto the train. Lunch was a 3 course affair followed by mid-afternoon tea, coffee and cakes. Dinner, comprising of 5 courses was served with a choice of South Africa's top wines - what more could one wish for with the Karoo as your back-drop. Breakfast didn't disappoint either. The staff were most attentive and went out of their way to meet our every need. Upon arrival at Johannesburg (45 minutes before the scheduled time of arrival) our car was speedily off-loaded. We were a little worried at media reports about the non-operating of the Premier Classe train but were assured, that it would be running as scheduled and we were not disappointed. We would certainly recommend travelling on the train both here and overseas - it brought back wonderful memories of train travel of a bye-gone era.  ROSEMARY KIRCHMANN

Travelling from Hermanus on Friday, we found the directions given to us by your colleague on how to get to the Cape Town station spot on. When we arrived at the station, we found the train had arrived more than 30 minutes early. My motor car was already waiting for me on the platform.

Being an ex Spoornet employee and taking my spouse on our 35th wedding anniversary, we will surely cherish our trip and experience for a long time. Regards Wessel and Elsabe Strydom

Hello Peter, Just to thank you for your help. We dropped off the cars this morning and it was all well organised and a pleasant experience.
Thanks ! David Bowman

Hi Bernice, Thank you so much – I am so very impressed with your amasing service , for you to go the extra mile and meet my parents personally is unheard of. Please pass on the message to your Manager to let them know that we are very thankful for all your efficient help and wonderful service. This is a very special trip for them with it being 40th wedding anniversary and with your help it is going to be a trip to always remember and cherish. You are truly a star. Kind Regards Beverley Benjamin

Hello Peter, I just wanted to say what a lovely trip we had on the Shosholoza Meyl, I really enjoyed every minute and the staff were all super-friendly and efficient. I would recommend this to anyone (and already have). Going by train to Joburg was something I have wanted to do for a long time, and now I'm only sorry I waited so long. Kind regards Linda Steele
