Is winter taking its toll on Gautrain?

I regard myself as a loyal Gautrain user. I park my car in Hatfield, take the train to Park Station, then I commute via bus to my office park, 5 days a week. Therefore, in a week, I pay roughly R900 to use the Gautrain services. This might seem like an insignificant amount, but to someone who has just started working, is trying to get by with their starter salary and is dependent on the train to get them to work, it is quite a chunk out of one's budget at the end of a month.<br> <br> This morning was the fourth time in one month that the train had a 'technical fault' on the line, and caused a 30 minute delay. I understand that certain faults and issues are unforeseen, but it has struck me that apart from the announcement on the station (\Dear passengers.... We apologise for any inconvenience caused)
