I'm at Alogomeji Rail Station in Lagos right now, waiting to board the train heading to Ibadan.

I got the economy class ticket for 2,500. They just made an announcement for the people with first class and business class tickets to go ahead and board the train. Those tickets cost N6,000 and N5,000 respectively.

Following

okay na

They have called us (economy class...the majority) to board the train. The walk from where we were seated to the train is about 3 minutes.

Work is still ongoing at the station.

Work is ongoing

A few more details. You need face mask to gain access to the station. And you need a form of identification to buy the ticket. I used my international passport as my form of identification.

A couple of more pictures...

Good one

I got a window seat. Now we are waiting till 4pm before the journey starts. It is currently 3:34pm.

People are still trekking under RED sand with their load after paying that HUGE amount of money

N2500 from Lagos to Ibadan, well done sir

We have started the journey...right on time. 4pm.

We started off slow but picked up speed after passing Yaba/Tejuosho.

Lets see the interiors of the train

Pictures of interior. I will take more pictures of interior when we stop at Abeokuta...manage these ones for now.

We are currently at Agege. 19 minutes from Alagomeji to Agege. Not bad.

Nice

The staff are going around checking tickets now.

We are currently at Iju.

Okay.

So far so good. I'm eavesdropping on passengers in my coach and everyone seems impressed by the train. A/C is cool, the train is neat and classy.

I go board this year someday for nothing sake

Which kind food is served on the trip.
Pounded yam would be nice.


At least Pufpuf and a bottle of chilled coke should be incorporated into dis #2500 trip na.

Waoh, this is really nice...

Nasarawa to Port Harcourt train ride show me pepper in 2016... Though there's a good feeling when you're defecating through a hole in the toilet and the faeces just lands on the railway while cool air cools your backside (PG 13)

#2500 from Alagomeji to Ibadan is quite alright and cheap also, considering it'll take less time

We passed Papalanto station about 15 minutes ago. We have passed by 3-4 stations so far, but it was only at Papalanto that we stopped for a few seconds. Work is ongoing at all the uncompleted stations.

Network is not so stable anymore...that's why it is taken me long to post/respond.

Wow, is that really the interior of a train in Nigeria? I am in awe.

We just got to Abeokuta station. It took us 1 hour 30 minutes.

Some people are getting off, and some are boarding.

The stop at Abeokuta was about 7 minutes. We are on the move again.

Some more pictures.

:Nice one. Was actually visiting Iju station area when the old station was being demolished. in 2017. Okay.

We are now at Moniya station, Ibadan. It took us exactly 2 hours 36 minutes.
