BLUE TRAINS UP FOR GRABS

THE luxury Blue Trains are to be sold as they need international expertise and a high level of marketing required to keep them running. Spoornet CE Zandile Jakavula said that the two trains have been identified by Spoornet as assets that need international management to maintain their high profile. The 18-wagon Blue Trains travel between Pretoria, Cape Town and Zimabawe’s Victoria Falls and were refurbished at a cost of R70-million in 1997.
