The Malmesbury Line is a regional commuter rail line operated by Metrorail Western Cape. It connects Cape Town with the town of Malmesbury.
The service operates mainly as a limited peak period commuter train between Malmesbury and Cape Town. Unlike most lines, which are electrified, the Malmesbury service historically relied on diesel locomotives for sections north of Kraaifontein. [1][2]
