Kenya Railways has announced temporary changes to two commuter train services affecting travel between Nairobi and Limuru, as well as the Nyahururu Safari Train. The adjustments, effective Thursday, November 12, 2026, are part of planned maintenance and infrastructure work on the Nairobi–Kibera–Talanta rail section.
The affected routes include the Limuru and Nyahururu services, which will see altered timetables during the maintenance period. Commuters traveling between Nairobi and Limuru may experience disruptions as engineers carry out essential repairs. The Nyahururu Safari Train, which connects Nairobi to the Maasai Mara region, will also be impacted.
The changes follow routine maintenance schedules aimed at improving safety and reliability on the rail network. Kenya Railways previously released updated timetables for five Nairobi commuter routes, including the Embakasi, Syokimau, Limuru, Lukenya, and Ruiru corridors. Fares for these routes start at KSh 50.
The maintenance work is part of ongoing efforts to modernize Kenya’s rail infrastructure. Officials have emphasized that the adjustments are temporary and that services will return to normal once the work is completed. The changes highlight the challenges of maintaining a growing commuter rail system in a rapidly urbanizing region.
