De SGR heeft op beide trajecten tussen Mombasa en Nairobi een langzamere "_provincie trein_’’ ingevoerd, die stopt in zeven tussenstations.

Wij verheugen ons op goederen treinen die veel van de zware vrachtwagens van de weg nemen in december!

The SGR management has now reached agreement with most of the bulk freight agencies to carry their cargo between Mombasa and Nairobi. Test runs are to start in December with the full service beginning next year. Plans to electrify the line in four years time are in place, estimated to cost a further Shs.65 billion, and negotiations with the Chinese are now taking place to finance the extension of the SGR from Naivasha to Kisumu – Shs.350 billion is required
