I recently used the train to mombasa, forking out Kshs 4,400 per person including dinner, the journey was long we left 5pm and reached msa the following day at noon, dinner was served with no drinks(you had to buy your own water), breakfast was served at 11 am), rooms are just dirty, service is pathetic(I ordered for coffee and I'm still waiting to be served).....Never will I use the that train again


This is symptomatic of everything else in Kenya. Almost everything has fallen apart compared to how it was even as recently as 2005. People now only care about siphoning money into their bank account.

The Nakuru -Kisumu -Butere line no longer operational. I took train rides for the fun, glad i did it before the service was stopped. We got so many MGR going to waste.
Nakuru-Kisumu -Butere
Nairobi-Nanyuki,
Eldoret - Kitale
Gilgil -Nyahururu,
Voi -Taveta,
and others i might not be aware of. If you were raised in a railway town, you'd understand what Impunity is going through.

When kibaki came back, the railway came back for a while before collapsing back to the old state, it went to Nyahururu laden with cement, livestock feed, fertilizer etc then went back loaded with KCC milk, maize, wheat, beans and barley from laikipia and loaded potatoes at Ol-kalou , the marikiti guys in Nairobi were very happy since the produce literary alived just behind them at Marikiti, Grain would reach millers right oustside their millers, but then lorry transporters, produce brokers happened sabotage happened, theft from the Nyahururu station, threats from canter brokers at Marikiti and faceless guys in government.


Sad Sad Sad
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
