Kenya Railways has announced temporary changes to commuter and safari train services to allow for planned engineering and maintenance works along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta section of the Metre Gauge Railway line.
In a public notice, the corporation said the revised schedule would take effect on Thursday, November 12, affecting the Nairobi Central Station-Limuru commuter train and the Nyahururu Safari Train.
Under the new arrangement, the Limuru commuter train will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with services suspended on Mondays and Fridays.
The Nyahururu Safari Train will also operate exclusively between Gilgil and Nyahururu stations.
The train is meant to depart Gilgil at 8:00 am and arrive in Nyahururu at 1150 am. The return from Nyahururu is scheduled for 3:00 pm, arriving in Gilgil at 6:35 pm.
Fares from Gilgil to Nyahururu are priced at Ksh.150, while Gilgil to Ol Kalou cost Ksh.100, and Ol Kalou to Nyahururu cost Ksh.50.
Kenya Railways said the temporary adjustments were necessary to provide uninterrupted access to the railway line for engineering and maintenance teams while minimising disruptions to train operations.
