On Monday, May 3, 2021, Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) announced the resumption of evening travel to Syokimau, Kikuyu, Ruiru, Athi River, and Embakasi Village stations in Nairobi County.
According to the new schedule, a train to Syokimau is set to depart at 5:30pm and 6:20pm, while that headed to Kikuyu station would leave at 5:35pm.
Other routes include: Ruiru station at 5:40pm; to Athi River station at 5:50pm; to Embakasi Village station at 6:00pm, 6:30 pm, and 8:00pm.
Passengers travel to Mombasa using a Madaraka Express train at the Nairobi terminus in Syokimau.
"This evening we resume normal service on the Nairobi Commuter Rail Service... The Link train to Nairobi Terminus departs at 8:00 pm," read the statement in part.
The corporation had revised travel hours around Nairobi on March 26 after President Uhuru Kenyatta put five counties, including the capital city under lockdown.
Commuter trains plying the Nairobi Terminus to Ngong station route had been readjusted to ensure that passengers alight at the station at 7 pm in order to beat the 8 pm deadline curfew.
