Kenya Railways Unveils New Routes, Fares & Timetable for Some Nairobi Trains

Kenya Railways urged all passengers travelling along the affected routes to familiarise themselves with the revised schedules and fares before planning their journeys.

Kenya Railways has announced temporary changes to two passenger train services, affecting the Nyahururu Safari Train route and operating days for the Nairobi-Limuru commuter service from Thursday, November 12, 2026.

In a notice dated Monday, November 9, and obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the corporation attributed the adjustments to planned engineering and maintenance works along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta railway route.

Under the new arrangement, the Nyahururu Safari Train will only travel between Gilgil and Nyahururu, meaning passengers from Nairobi will no longer board the train directly.

According to Kenya Railways, the train will depart Gilgil Station at exactly 8am and arrive in Nyahururu town at around 11:50am, while return journeys will begin at 3pm daily.
