Mombasa-Nairobi Rail Service

kikuyu1:


I've always said part of our problem is our media! Remember how they said its a 'white elephant/overpriced ' etc etc ? The folks went down to the Coast 2 weeks back. ITS FULLY BOOKED TIL LATE SEPTEMBER!? You'll be lucky to get a seat before October. Only if someone cancels. Right now its only 2 daily trains ferrying 2400 passengers and indications are at least another 2 will be added soon.

TayserMahiri:


Only one more gold would have propelled us to top position but as someone said, Ruto came

TayserMahiri:


Lol, there are media houses that specialize in negative vibes. The trains are actually being increased to six. They should be six already by now. 3 to and 3 fro. per day

"Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said Thursday that four more Madaraka Express trains will transport passengers between Mombasa and Nairobi starting July.
Beginning next month, three trains will transport commuters to Nairobi daily while three others ferry passengers to Mombasa."

The cargo wagons are ready to decongest the port. The fleet consists of 18 freight locomotives and 60 wagons designed for double-stacking.

Actually we did quite bad, that was the worst outing for the U18 event. Usually we are first or second. The home crowd seems to have put them under immense pressure, meanwhile SA was thriving under the pressure and weather.

In fact I'm told since SGR ops began Msa hotels occupancy rate has increased to 80% and the high season is still 3 months away. I REPEAT,ALL THOSE NAYSAYERS AND EXPERTS SHOULD APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY AND REMAIN FOREVER SILENT! Did you ever read that nigga, Dr Ndii? Basically he said the project would drown us in debt as it was totally unworkable and mountains of other ish....

Kenyanstar:

Mind you the passenger service was just a complementary initiative and wasn't even the main thing. The rail system was meant to be almost 98% cargo related but the embrace that Kenyans have given the passenger service all its worth making Kenya railways reconsider restructuring its earlier timetable of routes.

Muafrika2:

Thone stations should have come with malls(great opportunity to revive Uchumi), bus stations and motels. They would be making a killing right now,

Lionessza:


Lol. Never host again then, give the rights to SA we won't mind you collecting all the medals while we get another ranking on being the best hosts after the 2010 world cup . Deal?

Jayceon:
your train station looks 100x better than airports in some countries

the sgr was basically a farce!!....i fail to understand how rail from mombasa to nairobi can cause $3bn. The young turks are looting too much... thats why as much as im a kikuyu i will vote for raila ....they guy wants to leave a legacy like Kibaki...

TayserMahiri:


Excellent idea. You would imagine the honchos at the helm of Uchumi to see that but oh well... Especially the Mombasa and Nairobi stations. The intermediate stations can be left for smaller outlets.

TayserMahiri:


lol no deal there. We would rather host more such events even if we come last But you guys hosted the best ever World Cup, Africa has what it takes.

TayserMahiri:




Thanks Jayceon.

Muafrika2:

I haven't been to any of the stations. Is there provision for any such thing? Or even stalls?

Lionessza:



Kikiki. If only we could all continue focussing on development and security instead of the crap we get up to and the stupid wars. Hosting such events ain't rocket science, just build the right facilities and guarantee security. Don't forget to have top class restaurants and hotels so you can chow their money while they are busy badmouthing and bitching about you over things they didn't like on CNN and their blogs

You are still alive . Thought you pulled the ZarZar stunt on me . How's you Jace?

TayserMahiri:


I dont think so. But that cannot be an issue.

TayserMahiri:


Did they badmouth SA after attending? I'm not sure I saw any of that, they seemed to have accepted the new reality. Africans seriously need to stop looking down on their abilities.
