More about Observation Car Seating

Embark on a nostalgic journey with Atlantic Rail as we proudly introduce our "Explorer’s Train" to Simonstown, returning after an almost 6 year absence! Departing from the Harbour Bridge Platform (AC Marriot Hotel), Cape Town, this picturesque rail adventure promises a delightful 2.5-hour trip through the scenic Cape landscape to the charming seaside town of Simonstown.

Our historic passenger train, pulled by a steam locomotive, ensures a unique experience. Onboard, discover a fully licensed bar and a dining car offering coffee and delectable snacks. For your convenience, we also provide card payment options.

Upon reaching Simonstown at 11h30, you'll have ample time to explore the town, indulge in a leisurely lunch, and peruse the local museums. The station is a short 600-meter walk from the heart of town, offering you a delightful stroll.

As the day unfolds, we bid farewell to Simonstown at 15h00, bringing you back to Cape Town by approximately 17h30. Don't miss out on this exceptional adventure - book your seat now and join us as we rediscover the allure of Simonstown together!

*Should unforeseen circumstances arise, the steam locomotive may be replaced by a diesel locomotive*
