For instance, if a train from East London hits a cow early in January, damaging the locomotive, a 17-coach express heading for the coast with anything up to 1,200 passengers on-board won’t be able to get past. If the passenger train has already spent five hours in a heatwave at Burgersdorp, standing face-to-face with another train in the middle of nowhere, it will have run out of water and the toilets will be overflowing. Not all that far away, Murphy seems to have had his hands full, with a train from Port Elizabeth that was Photographed this in the municipal transport supposed to take 20 hours to Johannesburg. It was workshops at Seattle. battling with binding brakes, overflowing toilets and no water. In the end it was to take 33 hours to complete its journey. Attempts to contact Shosholoza Meyl offices were unsuccessful. Nobody answered (Murphy again). The train manager said there was nothing she could do. Eastern Cape area operations manager for Shosholoza Meyl, Nosipho Mancotywa wasn't aware of any complaints regarding the lack of water but she confirmed the lengthy delays with News24. Mancotywa said the signals were not working at Cradock because the electricity was off. Murphy can be a real devil where electricity is involved and he is a dab hand with cockroaches.

  • PR RKH Opened Doha Metro May 8, 2019.Pdf
    RKH Qitarat, composed of RATP Dev, Keolis and Hamad Group, opened Doha Metro Red Line South On 8 May 2019, RKH Qitarat, the joint venture consisting of RATP Dev, Keolis and Hamad Group 1, opened the first section of the Doha metro to the public. This follows the award in December 2017 by Qatar Rail of a contract to operate and maintain Qatar’s first urban rail transport network for a period of 20 years. The network includes three automated metro lines in Doha, the Qatari capital, and four tram lines located in the city of Lusail. On 8 May 2019, the Doha Metro Red Line South opened to the public. Initial operation includes 13 out of 18 stations of the line, which will connect Al Qassar in the North to Al Wakrah in the South. For this first stage of the launch, service will be ensured from Sunday to Thursday, from 8am to 11pm. It is an important stage for testing the Doha Metro system with passengers, providing an opportunity to evaluate and review the performance in preparation for the full operation of the network in 2020. This major urban project is of crucial importance for the region as 90% of the Qatari population currently live in Doha and its surrounding suburbs (equivalent to 2.6 million people). Qatar wants to make the city of Doha more attractive to visitors and facilitate the daily journeys of the population as the country prepares for the post-fuel extraction era. The Doha metro will be completely automated and driverless, incorporating three lines (Red, Green and Gold) 75km of track and 37 stations.

  • Doing Business in the United Arab Emirates
    DOING BUSINESS IN THE UAE Dubai, © Sophie James DOING BUSINESS IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Abu Dhabi, © Philip Lange DOING BUSINESS IN THE UAE INTRODUCTION Since the discovery of oil in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) more than 40 years ago, the country has undergone a profound transformation to a modern state with a high standard of living. This growth was for a large extent driven by income from oil and gas resources. Today the UAE is more than an economy based on oil and gas. Successful efforts at economic diversification in trade, logistics, banking, tourism, real estate and manufacturing have sig- nificantly reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas output. The diversified growth environment that is being created in the UAE provides abundant business opportunities. The UAE’s liberal climate towards foreign cooperation, investment and modernisation has prompted extensive diplomatic and commercial relations with other countries. With its prime geographical location at the crossroads of the major Western and Eastern economies, its established and efficient air and sea connections and developed infrastructure, the UAE is an exciting prospect for any business looking to establish a foothold, or expand, in the MENA region or wider Africa and Asia. In 2012, mutual trade between the Netherlands and the UAE was worth more than 3,2 billion euros according to figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Total trade between the Neth- erlands and the Gulf region (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain) was worth over 14 billion euros. While the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the Netherlands’ biggest trading partner in the Gulf region (6.9 billion euros), the UAE is the largest export market (nearly 2.4 billion euros).

  • Azerbaijan 2017 Crime & Safety Report
    Azerbaijan 2017 Crime & Safety Report Overall Crime and Safety Situation U.S. Embassy Baku does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE HAS ASSESSED BAKU AS BEING A MEDIUM-THREAT LOCATION FOR CRIME DIRECTED AT OR AFFECTING OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT INTERESTS. Please review OSAC’s Azerbaijan-specific webpage for proprietary analytic reports, Consular Messages, and contact information. Crime Threats Criminal acts committed against foreigners are infrequent in Baku. The majority of reported crimes involve Azerbaijani citizens, with burglary and assault being the most common. Late- night targeted attacks against lone men are the most common crimes perpetrated against foreigners. Petty thefts (pickpocketing), while not common, are sometimes perpetrated against foreigners in Baku. Expatriates are at greater risk of being victims of petty crime in areas that attract large crowds or are very isolated. Some U.S. citizens, most commonly males, have reported being victims of certain scams in bars frequented by Westerners. Commonly, a male patron is approached by a young woman who asks him to buy her a drink. After buying the woman a drink and conversing, the male is presented with a bill for 375 AZN (approximately US$200). When he protests, he is approached by several men, detained, and forced to pay the full amount under threat of physical violence. Some women have reported incidents of unwanted male attention, including groping and other inappropriate behavior while walking on the streets alone and when taking taxis.

  • Brussels Metro to Grow As Pre-Metro Shrinks
    BRUSSELS METRO TO GROW … AS PRE-METRO SHRINKS by Geoffrey Skelsey The recent announcement that preliminary work was to start on the extension of Brussels Metro line 3, and the conversion to Metro operation of the existing tram-worked pre-metro line, makes it timely to review the story of the line, and of the pre-metro concept. This will be the latest development in a conversion programme which began in 1976 on line 1, followed in 1988 on line 2. THE BIRTH OF THE ‘PRE-METRO’. The pre-metro is often thought to have originated in Belgium and (West) Germany, but it is a sad reflection on a lack of impetus in British transport projects that amongst the earliest formulations of a system of tram subways linking segregated suburban feeder lines occurred in Leeds and Glasgow around the end of the Second World War. The Leeds transport manager, W. Vane Morland, after pre- war study tours in Sweden and Boston, drew up proposals in 1944 for intersecting tunnels below the city centre leading to a network of high-quality suburban tramways (or ‘light rail lines’ as they would now be called). The city went some way towards achieving the second part of the project, with ‘express’ tramways extending east and south of the city, and other planned, some of which were completed as late as 1949. Exploratory work was undertaken by the City Engineer, including trial borings for tunnels extending east-west and north-south, with a two-level interchange station below City Square.
