RVR resumes normal services in Nairobi after technical hitch

Nairobi, Kenya: Rift Valley Railways has apologised to all its customers who use the commuter trains.  In a statement sent to newsrooms the RVR management stated that there was a technical glitch that required teams, both in Uganda and Kenya, to delay the commencement of commuter services. 

All trains have now resumed their normal schedules and measures have been put in place to ensure this does not recur.

Thousands of commuters were Monday stranded after Kenya Railways suspended train services due to what they termed as technical hitches.

The areas affected included Syokimau, Imara Daima, Makadara, Kikuyu, Kibera, Embakasi and Ruiru routes. The routes are usually busy on Mondays and the decision to suspend the services without notice caught many off guard.
