A dream.......Maybe by the time the line is completed in 2016,Japan will have done away with bullet trains.....BTW,why would building a 1000Km of railway line take 7 years in this day and time whereas the original line took a mere 5 years from Mombasa to Kisumu despite all the hardships?.........Someone needs to get serious.

Old man about town....

it took us more than 100 years to realize we need a better railway line .... now that we have am waiting to see how long it will take us to accomplish one.... am all ears.. BTW how far are we in hallucination 2030??/?//??

Its just me
whatever choice you make in life make sure that you can live with it.

At least these idiots hav dreamt! It starts with a dream ladies n gentlemen. God help Kenya!

The only reason why some people are still alive is coz its illegal to shoot them!!

This one taking 7 years ain't so off the mark.With the trains moving at around 160km/h,bends/curves and inclinations/declinations will have to be dealt with and that's why it takes a bit longer than it would take building the narrow gauge[1,000mm] line. For such speeds to be achieved,the new standard gauge[1,435mm] line will have to use continuous welded rail (CWR),also known as ribbon rails.This allows a smooth ride at higher speeds.The CWR with very few or no joints at all,it's construction takes more time than a jointed track.Maintenance of is minimal,the track is strong with less friction. Just coz we haven't done it in 100 years doesn't mean we can't. Negativity kills everything,let's try doing with less,much less.

When i see my purple,you see it not.

and can bullet trains ride on this rail? forgive my ignorance..

you've heard me..
