Kenya Railways Suspends Train Services Affecting Nairobi, 3 Other Towns

Kenya Railways changes Limuru and Nyahururu train services from 12 November 2026 for track maintenance, with reduced schedules and a shortened safari route.

Kenya Railways has announced temporary changes to train services along the Nairobi–Kibera–Talanta corridor, effective November 12, 2026, to allow for engineering and maintenance works on the Metre Gauge Railway line.

The parastatal issued a public notice dated November 9, 2026, outlining the revised schedules for two services: the Limuru commuter train and the Nyahururu Safari Train.

Under the new arrangement, the commuter service linking Nairobi Central Station and Limuru will operate only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

The train will be completely suspended on Fridays and Mondays to give engineering crews uninterrupted access to the track.
