The Rhodesfield station is part of the normal train system and as such is a junction with the main rail system at Kempton Park. Passengers using normal Metrorail facilities can catch the Gautrain at Rhodesfield. This enables travellers from surrounding towns such as Boksburg, Benoni, Germiston and of course Kempton Park to take advantage of the Gautrain service.
It also allows visitors to South Africa to take advantage of convenient conventional rail travel after arrival at the OR Tambo International Airport.

Where does the Gautrain Operate... what is the Gautrain Route?
There are 2 main Gautrain routes: Gautrain Route 1 is known as "The Gautrain Airport OR Tambo Service" route: The other main Gautrain route takes passengers to Pretoria central. The main hub is situated close to the Lombardy offramp adjacent to Alexandria on the N3
- The Gautrain rail journey begins at the newly revamped and modernised OR Tambo (ORTIA) International airport in Kempton park. The Gautrain rail service runs to the Sandton CBD via the Marlboro station. It is the Marlboro station that acts as the link between the airport leg and the Pretoria leg.
- In preparation for this important convergence of rail and road routes the Marlboro highway offramp has been considerably enlarged and improved to make access to and from the main highway much easier much than in previous years. Prior to this motorway modernisation it was a nightmare to access the on and offramps at this critically important Marlboro road junction This Gautrain route also operates (when finalised) between Johannesburg Park Station and Pretoria or more accurately Tshwane's Hatfield Station via the Centurion Gautrain station. At the time of writing the leg between Sandton CBD and Johannesburg Park station is not in operation owing to engineering problems associated with water leakage into the tunnel connecting Johannesburg's Park Station and the Sandton Gautrain station. Also at the time of writing (August 2011) the latest information on the Rosebank to Johannesburg CBD was provided in the following press statement:
- The Rhodesfield junction at Kempton Park represents a major connection point to the normal rail service operating in South Africa. It was opened in April 2010
