The Pietermaritzburg Railway Station, situated in the capital city of KwaZulu-Natal, was constructed in the 19th century, and continues to service several of the major cities of this country. It is Pietermaritzburg’s main station and is a major stop for long-distance passenger rail services.
It travels between Durban (KwaZulu-Natal), Cape Town (Western Cape) and Johannesburg (Gauteng). This station is serviced by the Shosholoza Meyl, which is part of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa and transports around 4 million long-distance passengers around the country every year.
The Pietermaritzburg Railway Station is situated in the south-western corner of the city centre. This means that it is accessible and easy to find. This city is optimally situated to provide access to and between both Durban and Johannesburg, which puts it in the centre of so many of South Africa’s best known and loved tourist attractions.
But, the town itself has plenty to offer. These include Butterflies for Africa, Scottsville Racecourse and Golden Horse Casino, the National Botanical Gardens, and the Msunduzi Museum Complex. Johannesburg and the OR Tambo International Airport are about five hours’ drive away, while Durban and the King Shaka International Airport are only about an hour away.
