Residents of Eastlands, Nairobi, can now heave a sigh of relief as the commuter rail service to the Central Business District has been restored. The train will leave Embakasi Village at 7.05am for a 15-minute ride to Pipeline Railway Station. It will then leave Pipeline for Doonholm Railway Station, arriving at 7.28am, and leave two minutes later for the Makadara station, a trip that will take seven minutes. The three new stations are set to operate on a “park-and-ride” model, which is currently being used at the Syokimau, Imara Daima and Makadara stations. The units are expected to ply five routes from the Nairobi Central Station to Embakasi Village, Syokimau, Kitengela, Kikuyu and Thika.
