SGR LAUNCHES LONG AWAITED SECOND TRAIN FROM #NAIROBI TO #MOMBASA
(Posted 02nd November 2017)
Starting today has Kenya Railways’ SGR operation launched a second daily train between Nairobi and Mombasa, connecting several counties along the way.
The initial train service stopped over in Mtito Andei, the half way station enroute to Mombasa but the new, second train service, now allows passengers to embark and disembark in many more stations.
Athi River, Emali, Kibwezi, Mtito Andei, Voi, Miasenyi and Mariakani are now connected by SGR passenger trains coming from Nairobi as well as from Mombasa, offering passengers safe and fast transport at very affordable tariffs, compared to the previously only mode of transport to and from these places, i.e. by matatu or bus.
It is hoped that the logistical challenges described in a journey review in October will be resolved, as the second train will bring plenty of more passengers who should not suffer the inconveniences experienced by this author, not during but prior to the journey commencing.
