In addition to the economic gains which should be significant, It will decongest the road from Miritini to town. If you take the afternoon train and arrive at 8pm, you can easily spend 2 hours getting into town due to the longhaul lorries starting their night journey to Nairobi...god forbid if you are headed to south coast or further on north coast...utafika at 2:00 am.

Yes, you are.


Let those that have used it comment. Again am asking about the comfort of the seats...




Have traveled twice.
- once via first class. Very comfortable seats, with enough leg room.
- The second time via economy. Also comfortable.

The comfort factor is not different to the numerous trains I have used in UK and Europe.

Shame on you Shame on you

The seats are okay. The idea was to fit as many people in the coach as possible.

Any ticketing agents in the house?
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Why do you need an agent while you can DIY?

Jezzus. The US can't even build a working railway. Amtrak train derails on FIRST day of operation killing 6 and injuring many. Sad. US should learn from kenya on how to build and operate a railway.

Saw this on FOX news and wondered whether we are prepared for such a disaster. God forbid!

The rescue operation mobilized within a short time span was impressive.

Pole to those affected.
