Miscommunication leads to train collision chaos

RICHARD’S BAY – The export coal line to Richard’s Bay in South Africa has been closed on Sunday due to a collision between two coal freight trains. The accident is believed to be due to a communication failure caused by the lack of a digitised train management system.

The collision occurred after a shift change, suggesting miscommunication may have played a role. This is a setback for the government and businesses, who have been trying to improve the country’s logistics sector.
