Kenya Railways has announced changes to its Limuru commuter train schedule, suspending services on Mondays and Fridays effective November 12, 2026, to allow for planned railway maintenance works. Under the revised timetable, trains operating on the Limuru route will only run from Tuesday to Thursday, with no commuter services available on Mondays and Fridays until further notice. The management said the changes are necessary to facilitate maintenance activities along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta Metre Gauge Railway corridor. Passengers using the Limuru commuter service have been advised to take note of the revised operating days and make alternative travel arrangements on days when trains will not be available.
Nyahururu Safari Train Route Adjusted
In a separate adjustment, Kenya Railways has announced changes to the Nyahururu Safari Train route to accommodate the planned maintenance works. The train will operate along the Gilgil-Nyahururu section instead of its usual route, allowing railway teams to undertake the necessary work along the affected corridor. The adjustment is part of the corporation’s efforts to carry out maintenance while minimising disruptions to railway operations.
Kenya Railways Implements Maintenance Measures
The planned works along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta Metre Gauge corridor are aimed at maintaining railway infrastructure and supporting the safe and efficient movement of trains. The temporary service changes are expected to affect passengers who regularly rely on the Limuru commuter service, particularly those travelling on Mondays and Fridays. Commuters have been encouraged to plan their journeys around the revised timetable to avoid inconveniences.
