Kenya Railways has launched Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) midnight train services from Nairobi to Mombasa and vice versa.
In a statement issued on Sunday, January 3, Kenya Railways disclosed that the introduction of the service was prompted by an increase in demand due to the reopening of schools.
“Following today’s Multi-Agency briefing on Re-opening of Schools, we will provide an additional Inter-county train in the evening between Mombasa and Nairobi,” read the statement.
Passengers are however likely to be exempted from curfew as is the case with air passengers arriving during the 10 p.m to 4 a.m curfew.
Air passengers whose flights end during curfew hours are required to present their tickets in order to be exempted from the night curfew.
The train will leave the Nairobi Terminus at 9 p.m while another intercounty train departs Mombasa at 9 p.m, arriving in Nairobi at 3:10 a.m and will run concurrently with the one leaving Nairobi at the same time.
