Date: March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa is in the process of introducing new rolling stock into their current aged fleet of rolling stock. This poses several technical challenges relating to amongst other the operation of the mix of old and new trains on the same infrastructure. The objective of this study was therefore to determine the effect on service reliability in terms of punctuality, when old trains are incrementally replaced by new trains. Punctuality was measured by number of delays, total delay minutes and average delay duration over a specified time period.

    • Initiate a programme under the Safer Journey’s Strategy for the rural areas (see above) to educate both vehicle owners and NMT groups on safety rules of the road. • Encourage businesses / co-ops / factories / farmers etc to provide bicycle parking and storage. Tourists: • Initiate formation of NMT forums/interest groups in local areas to put together local NMT friendly tourism routes. • Encourage guest houses, through local tourism forums/interest groups, to supply free bikes for the duration of the stay to encourage cycling around local areas. • Liaise with BEN and other agencies/ business to discuss the opportunity to install bike supply/rental systems in certain urban centres such as Stellenbosch, Worcester and Tulbagh, and in particular at strategic rail stations. • Establish a programme to train local guides that can run bicycle tours. Urban Scholars: • Promote cycling to school and initiate safety awareness training modules at schools. • Support local municipality officials to respond to the need to provide appropriate infrastructure where required (a range of paths making up a continuous network linking schools and sports fields and rail stations where applicable, priority signalling systems, road crossing facilities and safe parking). Urban Students: • Support local municipality officials to respond to the need to provide appropriate infrastructure where required (including pedestrianised zones, NMT links from rail stations, road crossing facilities, priority signalling, parking, storage and showers). • Discourage University and College planners from providing vehicle parking and rather encourage planners to create pedestrianised campuses. This will require promotion of the use of a more appropriate parking ratio by the relevant Local Authority land use departments who generally encourage the use of vehicles by using outdated zoning scheme parking standards.

Schoeman November 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

I could not have asked for a better dad! My Mami, the person on the other side of 99.9% of all my conversations. You are my best friend. You have taught me countless priceless life lessons and I am honoured to call you my mom. Uncle, your faith, love and support has never gone unnoticed, thank you.

The House met at 10:00. The Deputy Speaker took the Chair and read the prayer . The DEPUTY SPEAKER: You may be seated. Order, before I ask the Secretary to read the first order, I just want to welcome on the galleries this morning Ms Barbara Stone, a former member of the Queensland Parliament, and Ms Janet Sullivan from Perth, Western Australia. They are in the country in Cape Town following the cricket but they took some time this morning to come and say hello to us in Cape Town. You are most welcome here. ORDERS OF THE DAY The SPEAKER: The Secretary will read the first Order o f the Day. 1. Debate on Vote 1 – Premier – Western Cape Appropriation Bill [B 3 - 2018]. 2 The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon Premier. An HON MEMBER: Hear-hear! The PREMIER: Thank you very much Mr Deputy Speaker. Honourable members, the Department of the Premier’s Main Budget for 2018/19 is R1,486 billion. The Department has endured repeated budget cuts in recent years. Compared with the indicative budget baseline for 2018 published in the 2017 Budget, the Budget has shrunk by almost 4%. In the final budget round, the Department was required to cut its budget by R201 million over the MTEF period, approximately R63 million, R67 million and R71 million in the respective years. The implementation of these budget cuts has left us with no provision for inflation in the outer years of the MTEF period.
