1. The Gauteng Nerve Centre (GNC) building has been commissioned and was officially opened for operation in October 2015. To date, the GNC operates the Irene, Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein, Leralla and Tembisa corridor on a new signaling system. Currently, PRASA is moving the southern line which includes Midway – Residensia Corridor into the GNC.
2. The GNC is functional and connected as stated above, in line with the intended project rollout. As more stations are equipped with the new signaling system, they will progressively be migrated to the GNC for control.
3. Yes, the GNC's traffic operators are trained in accordance with the corridor commissioning program. To date, 82 train control officers have been trained. Further, 42 engineering technicians were trained to maintain the new signaling system
4. The requirement of the GNC is to control the entire Gauteng region only, in accordance with the operational plan. It should, however, be stated that other regions such as the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal will also be equipped with new modern control centres similar to the one in Gauteng.
