@mavinder, ati Githu comes from Ndenderu? You mean Ndumberi?...on the train station, what difference would it have made if it was on the left side? It would make it easy for you in the morning but difficult jioni.

Business Daily wrote:Rail operator Rift Valley Railways (RVR) wants the government to build a second line from Makadara to Syokimau as it targets commuters from the usually congested Mombasa Road.
A second line would allow the company to deploy extra trains, raising its carriage capacity substantially.
RVR chief executive officer Carlos Andrade said that they were in talks with Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) over the line but did not give any date when it might be built.
“We are discussing technical issues with KRC to double the line from Makadara to here (Syokimau) which will help us to improve the service because then we can have more trains running,” Mr Andrade said.
There are double rail lines between the Nairobi Central station and the Makadara Station. The Nairobi-Syokimau line which has stopovers at Imara Daima and Makadara stations has continued to attract commuters keen on beating the traffic jam on Mombasa Road. http://www.businessdaily.../-/10ymntxz/-/index.html"There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

SIMPLE HEADS.  You dont need a single extra track on that route. They have not exhausted the capacity of the current single line. What they need to do is to have trains departing every 5 minutes to increase capacity or better still run long trains with more carriages. Double track is needed basically in areas of high traffic and where the trains dont need to stop and wait for those moving on opposite directions to pass. Portfolio: Sold
