From the ease of check-in to arrival back at Harbour Bridge Hotel Station in Cape Town, everything flowed so smoothly and seemlessly. Comfortable seating, with own bar in the Observation carriage. Proper coffees and sandwiches available throughout the day. Also a range of T-shirts and other memorabilia available to purchase. Very pleasant and helpful staff helped make this a wonderful day and special journey. - Paul
Ons het die dag terdee geniet. Dit was 'n nuwe avontuur, aangesien ons nog nooit met die trein na Simonstad gery het nie. Die rit was soos 'n nuwe ontdekkingstog met veral die Observation Car met vensters rondom het die gedeelte tussen Muizenberg en Simonstad asemrowend gemaak, aan die eenkant die see en aan die anderkant die berge en die pragtige historiese geboue. Ons kan nie wag vir die volgende rit saam met Ceres Rail nie. - Fanie
