Thanks This is about 1km from the new platform I posted. I got talking to a chinese engineer who hinted that the tracks on top are for the abuja-lagos line while the lower tracks are to run from abuja-kaduna. They need to speed up the work sha. Do you have any idea of the timeframe for completion?

nku5: ^^^I'm a bit confused here ; if Abuja is where you interchange from Kaduna-Abuja to Abuja-Lagos lines (presumably they had enough sense to plan for one huge station for ease of transfer of passengers), then how come they're running parallel to each other......or are they heading in opposite directions? |
Re: FCTA To Commission 14 Standard Rail Stations- Daily Trust by IGBOSON1: 6:48pm On Jun 23, 2013 |
Also, would they use overhead electric cables instead of track current rails (as the pics suggest), or are the trains going to be run on diesel? |

Background. Abuja wanted to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. There was also a rival bid from Glasgow, Scotland. Abuja had a better bid document and even the inspectors said that Abuja's bid was excellent (Nigeria planned to use the same facilities it used for the 2003 All Africa Games). President Obasanjo and General Gowon made a great pitch about using the games to celebrate Nigeria's centenary. However, there was one problem. Abuja did not have a rail network, while Glasgow did. The inspectors stated that they did not believe that Abuja would be able to cope with the influx of visitors that would come to watch the games, because it did not have a rail system in place. Obasanjo smuggled in a proposed light rail system, but the Commonwealth Games Association were not convinced. Abuja lost the bid. Government decided to continue with the rail plans and use it to celebrate Nigeria's centenary. However, the project was delayed because the National Assembly complained that it was too expensive. President Jonathan, who, as Vice President was in charge of Nigeria's Commonwealth Games bid, stepped in to resolve the problem and also proposed that there should be a national rail link between Lagos - Abuja - Kaduna, as part of the modernisation programme for the NRC. The project is now back on course. 3 Likes |

IGBO-SON: Good question. I think that platform is to pick up and drop passengers going to lagos from kaduna on the upper track while the lower track will have a station/platform elsewhere for those heading to kaduna to embark or disembark |
