The Standard Gauge Railway cargo service will continue to operate on a 24 hour basis, Kenya Railways has said, a move that will ensure seamless movement of goods. “The SGR cargo service will continue to operate as scheduled. Both the passenger and cargo services are available between the port town of Mombasa and Suswa in Narok County, he added. “Kenya Railways wishes to advise all users of SGR cargo services to adhere to all health and non-health guidelines as provided by the Ministry of Health,” Mainga said in a statement. Since its operationalisation in January 2018, SGR cargo has remained critical in movement of imports and exports, improving cargo turnaround between the port city of Mombasa and Nairobi.
