Rhodesfield is a suburb central to Kempton Park, in Gauteng province, South Africa, just south of the CBD. It houses the last station on the Gautrain route to OR Tambo International Airport from Sandton. The station is at the corner of Anson and Valencia Streets, north of the nearby R24 highway.

Rail service

See also: Rhodesfield (Gautrain station)

Rhodesfield is one of the two eastern termini of the Gautrain Airport Line.[2] Essentially, it acts as the commuter rail variant of the close by OR Tambo International Airport station. Trains from the airport stop at Rhodesfield, but the carriages holding passengers from the preceding station do not open their doors.

One of four stations to have a connection to the Johannesburg Metrorail system, Rhodesfield acts as a transfer point, with PRASA having built a new Rhodesfield station. However, the Gautrain and PRASA stations are physically separate, with the former requiring smart-card entry for fare and security reasons.

Bus service

Similar to other Gautrain stations, Rhodesfield is served by an integrated feeder bus route. Known as RF1, the bus travels in a circular route around southern Kempton Park.[3]
