On the other hand, Kenya Railways also addressed the commencement date of the SGR premium services.
According to the organisation, various preparation steps such as testing of the wagons were ongoing before the services were rolled out.
“The corporation is in the final stages of preparation, including testing and other pre-launch activities. We will soon announce the launch date and when the new coaches will be available for booking,” Kenya Railways stated.
Kenyans who wish to travel on the premium trains will be paying Ksh12,000 for a trip between Nairobi and Mombasa.
