Kenya Railways has announced the temporary suspension of the Nanyuki Safari train service on Friday, April 25, 2025, due to ongoing restoration works on a section of the railway line. This disruption is affecting the movement of trains, as the restoration efforts are necessary to ensure the safety and efficiency of train services.
In a statement released to the public, Kenya Railways confirmed that the Nanyuki Safari train would not operate on Friday. The company emphasized that its technical teams are actively working to restore the affected section of the railway line and resume normal train services as soon as possible. The restoration work is essential to maintain the safety and reliability of the services offered by Kenya Railways.
The company reassured passengers that the safety of all those using their services is of paramount importance. The announcement stressed that while this temporary suspension of the Nanyuki Safari train may cause inconvenience, the company is committed to ensuring that services are fully restored once the necessary repairs and restoration work are completed. Kenya Railways also apologized for any disruptions caused by the suspension of the service and urged the public to stay informed about any further updates.
This temporary suspension follows a series of disruptions to the railway services. On Thursday, Kenya Railways announced the suspension of the morning link trains to Lukenya and Syokimau. The reason for this suspension was a blockage of the railway line at Mukuru, which had made it impossible for the trains to operate as scheduled. In response, Kenya Railways deployed a team to address the blockage and work towards restoring normal train services as quickly as possible. The company assured passengers that efforts were being made to clear the obstruction and prevent further delays in the future.
The interruptions caused by the blockage and the restoration work have highlighted some of the ongoing challenges faced by the railway system in Kenya. While train services have been a reliable mode of transport for many passengers, maintaining the infrastructure in good condition requires continuous efforts. Restoration works such as the one currently underway are vital to ensure the long-term sustainability of Kenya’s railway network.
Despite these temporary disruptions, Kenya Railways has emphasized its commitment to improving the quality and safety of its services. The company has made significant investments in modernizing the railway infrastructure in recent years, and such restoration works are part of the broader efforts to enhance the efficiency of the entire network.
Kenya Railways also took the opportunity to encourage the public to remain patient during this period of disruption, assuring passengers that the necessary measures would be taken to minimize any further inconvenience. The company has promised to provide updates as more information becomes available and has requested the public to stay tuned for any announcements regarding the resumption of the Nanyuki Safari train service and other affected services.
As Kenya Railways works to address these issues, the company continues to prioritize the safety and satisfaction of its passengers. The restoration of the affected sections of the railway line is expected to improve the overall reliability of the service and reduce the likelihood of future disruptions. With ongoing improvements to the railway infrastructure, Kenya Railways is focused on ensuring that train services remain a dependable and efficient mode of transport for all passengers across the country.
