Timetable

• Online:

Shosholoza Meyl Durban station had a list of running dates which were fewer than weekly in February 2025. Fahrplancenter provides a list of links to operators' own websites. Note that this may be out of date.

• Printed: summary timetables are available in some editions of the European Rail Timetable.

Extensive information is available at the Man in Seat 61 - although this appears to be very out of date at May 2025.
