Kenya Railways on Thursday announced the temporary suspension of the Nanyuki Safari Train owing to the ongoing heavy rains.
In a statement, the agency announced that a section of the railway at the Thika - Mitubiri area had been affected prompting the disruption.
As a result of the disruption, the authority announced that the Nanyuki Safari train would not be available for people seeking to travel on Friday, April 19, 2024.
Kenya Railways indicated that technical teams were already on the ground to address the situation and restore normalcy as soon as possible.
"The safety of our passengers is of paramount importance to us and we are doing everything to ensure the network is safe for operations," Kenya Railways noted.
"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and look forward to having you back on board upon normal resumption of service."
It is not the first time that Kenya Railways has experienced service disruption. In November last year, the corporation announced the disruption of train services from Lukenya and Syokimau branches to Nairobi Central Station.
In its statement, the agency noted the interference in the train schedule was a result of a blockage on the line caused by a derailment at Imara Daima.
"This morning the train to Nairobi Central Station from Lukenya and Syokimau stations will not run," read part of Kenya Railways statement.
"Passengers are advised to bear with us and use alternative means. We apologise for the inconvenience caused," the corporation added.
In Lukenya, two trains were scheduled to depart for Nairobi Central Station, one at 5.45 am and the second at 7.00 am. The trains were to drop off passengers at CBD at 7.40 am and 8.55 am, respectively.
Meanwhile, in Syokimau, four trains were scheduled to depart in the morning from 6:20 am and the last at 10:40 am.
