You said it :) i still prefer to drive my swift between Mombasa and Nairobi, costs me about 2,500 each way, always fun along the way, stops and detours into camping sites and towns, takes whole day though. If i want to travel fast I take a flight usually around 4500 one-way, the problem with SGR at the moment is timing, it's not very friendly to business people who make up the majority of daily passengers, an evening and early morning train would be nice say 8pm and 6 am. To Each His Own

Yeah. Currently as it is, with only morning trips, it's not that attractive..

Politics aside, the costumes/drama aside- especially at check in where the Chinese have extensive checks than Jkia itself (read sniffer dogs...)
A Multi Criteria Analysis indicates SGR to be an unreasonable economic investment. We overspent on the damn project, for what....?! Aside from Awing first time visitors/train users

Theres nothing ‘awing’ about the SGR service nor the product.. The Ethiopia Djibouti train service is more thrilling COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU
