This driver is a hero, i was on this train now, 3227, immobilized between Strand and Van der Stel by the protesters who put a railway sleeper on line in a failed attempt to derail the train.. Our driver noticed it under the N2 bridge stopped and noticed a mob approaching the train, he made a split second decision to try and proceed and managed to get us to relative safety a few hundred metres down the line where we could disembark with Strand SAPS In attendance..
