Kenya Railways Corporation has moved to implement temporary schedule adjustments for select commuter and safari train services starting today, Thursday, November 12, 2026, to accommodate engineering and maintenance works along the Nairobi–Kibera–Talanta Metre Gauge Railway (MGR) corridor.
Under the revised timetable, the Nairobi Central Station–Limuru commuter train will operate exclusively on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with services suspended on Mondays and Fridays.
The Nyahururu Safari Train has also been adjusted to run on a truncated route covering the Gilgil, Ol Kalou, and Nyahururu sections, temporarily excluding direct service from Nairobi.
Fares for the safari route are set at KSh 150 from Gilgil to Nyahururu, KSh 100 from Gilgil to Ol Kalou, and KSh 50 between Ol Kalou and Nyahururu.
The corporation says that that the temporary measures aim at providing engineering teams with uninterrupted track access while minimizing disruptions to the network. Its Director Philip Mainga on Wednesday, November 11, inspected the ongoing Nairobi Limuru commuter line which he said will enhance connectivity especially to the new Talanta Stadium.
“The works include replacing steel sleepers with concrete sleepers, which offer greater durability and improved track,” Mainga said, sending apologies to affected passengers for the inconvenience.
