The Blue Train is another South African Airways in the making: derailing is a matter of time

I have been trying for 5 weeks to get hold of the Blue Train staff. I have emailed, whatsapped, phoned staff and even sent messages on their website. Out of the numerous attempts I got hold once of a staff member, since then they vanished in a black hole. It is quite clear that the Blue Train is another South African Airways in the making but then on rails or should we say derailed. There are already rumors that this once South African icon is on the brink of bankruptcy and that is not a surprise knowing that its owner has 26 billion+ debts (yes, double than the other government owned enterprise Eskom). I would be very unwise to book the Blue Train as you will likely end without a refund, just like SAA pulled customers a leg. It is the end of an era and another South African government failure.
