South Africa Launches Exciting Renewable Energy Initiative: Train Set 300
In a move set to redefine transportation in South Africa, Transport Minister Ms. Barbara Creecy is inviting members of the media to the official launch of the innovative renewable energy initiative, Train Set 300. This groundbreaking event, hosted by the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), will take place at the Isiphingo Mall.
Scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 10:30 AM, this launch promises to be a momentous occasion for public transport in the region. The event will begin promptly at 11:00 AM at the Durban Station, located across from SAPS on Masabalala Yengwa Avenue. This initiative not only highlights South Africa’s commitment to renewable energy but also aims to enhance the overall railway experience for commuters.
