Hi P. Just got back from JHB. Food is great. Eat in the dinning car or in your compartment. Bar open all day and night. Coffee and beer trollies to sleeper compartments occasionally or you can sit at table or buy and take out. No noise at night.

R600.00 pp one way from Cape Town to JHB. Much cheaper than flights and more enjoyable. You can do the JHB to Durban cheaper.

Of the 27 hours, you sleep for 10. So 17 hrs of enjoying the scenery and chatting. Their are 3 prong and 2 prong plugs for your electronic stuff to keep you occupied. Staff is very efficient and keep you supplied with refreshments.

They have shutters on the windows that make the compartment pitch black and the movement of the train lulls one to sleep.
