So it's a progression. We have narrow gauge train lines that are not good for high speed rail services. You replace them with standard gauge tracks. We had trains that were lying idle at the trains stations and workshops. You re-activate them. We have the Ebute-Metta rail workshop (where the Peugeot J5 train engine was built in the early 1990s). Train coaches and engines have been maintained there in the past, but it has been starved of funds in recent years. You increase funding to the workshop. You sign an agreement with General Electric to upgrade and modernise the workshop. You craft a bill to allow private companies to run train services. Although the National Assembly is slow to pass the bill, you approve private train services at the Apapa Port, the Lagos Rail Transit Scheme and the Abuja Metro. You rehabilitate the rail line at the port so that goods can be moved directly from the port to various destinations across the country. (Think of the relief for commuters around Apapa who won't have to contend with those terrible trailer trucks). People see that you are serious, so: General Electric establishes a plant to manufacture and assemble modern train engines, coaches and power plants. China gives you a loan to complete the new Abuja line (link to the National Line) and the Abuja Metro. Companies book trains to freight their goods (this brings in much needed revenue) eg wheat, petroleum products, mattresses, etc. We are making progress. 5 Likes |

Standing5: Why not use those old coaches for cargo movement instead of taking us back some 20-30 yrs? can;t our Fed Govt manage to buy brand new coaches? GEJ along with the management of the NRC are taking PRUDENT FINANCIAL baby steps in REVIVING the moribund rail sector after decades of neglect by rehabilitating old, abandoned locomotives and coaches. That is very good management of funds to produce reliable results unlike Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN who is spending Lagosians' money to buy old Toronto trains that are to be decommissioned for safety reasons. Lagos Light-Rail: Fashola Orders 260 35-Year-Old Trains From Toronto More comments from even our dear NL forum https://www.nairaland.com/831962/gov-fashola-made-laughing-stock https://www.nairaland.com/831960/gov-fashola-made-laughing-stock Lest we forget, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the real ACTION governor started the metro system construction in 1983 before General Buhari overthrew our democratic goverment by COUP D'ETAT and locked up even progressive governors like Jakande, Ambrose Alli etc in prison while keeping his fulani brother, president Shehu Shagari in comfortable house arrest in Ikoyi. Meanwhile some people nor go let us hear word dey talk sey Fashola is the best thing after sliced bread and should be promoted to president. SMH!!! 2 Likes |

vivacious vivi: This may slowly put some Logistics companies (dealing in long-distance freight) out of business. The logistics companies do not have to go out of business. There is an English word called ADAPTATION. They can adapt their business model to the new realities of haulage by rail and buy/rent freight coaches that will be pulled by the trains from point A to point B instaed of using the road and trailers. Quite simple, really. 1 Like |

Horus: [img]http://img1.nairaland.com/attachments/1219785_bang_JPG6c7228dcd283903afc2fe3684b2ea4f5[/img]The japan train you are talking about is for passengers only. The nigerian train you ridicule can carry both goods and passengers. Its even the goods train we want, so these trailers can reduce from our highways! Funny how you can point fingers at this development. Can I ask you the model of the car you drive (if you even have one) so I can post the type your mate drives in the developed countries? Shame! 3 Likes |

manny4life: You want to compare other countries maintenance culture to Nigeria's Look the London Underground before they were upgraded recently they were using fleets from the late 60s to early 70s. Arik that was commissioned in 2008/09 have you seen their planes? I would ask again with our maintenance culture how many years do we expect to get out of those scrap metals? |

baby-boy: What do u know than argue aimlessly. NS, Deutche Bahn, NMBS etc have old trains on their tracks. U want government to buy high speed train so that u can pay 4000 naira from Lagos to Kano?, TGV from Amsterdam to Paris, a journey of about one and half hour cost €110, can everyone afford such fare in Nigeria?. NO GOVERNMENT ESTABLISH A VENTURE FOR FREE, AND NIGERIA IS NOT AN EXCEPTION. That cheap and free mentality in Nigeria must change. 2 Likes |

Hopefully, none of our girls---even the morbidly obese ones--- falls for u and gets pregnant; we don't need ur sort of DNA in our gene pool. The 30yr old trains ur complaining about, do they look or run anything like the 18th century locomotives GEJ has chosen to burden Nigerians with? But you clowns always find it so hard to speak the truth then u wonder why ure despised. Clannish bigots. |
