After a lot of noise and media briefing, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto,have managed to complete a Sh 327 billion mega project, Standard Gauge Railway. We took photos of the trains, which have arrived in Kenya, ready to start ferrying passengers from Nairobi to Mombasa.
It is believed that the new train would have super speed, in fact twice as fast as ordinary bus. From Mombasa to Nairobi,a passenger will take not more than 4 hours, and the beauty of travelling on train is that traffic jam will be a thing of the past.
The current train takes between 10 to 17 hours to arrive Mombasa from Nairobi, which is slower than ordinary buses.
Below are photos of the state-of-the art trains
