Kenya Railways has announced temporary changes to the Nairobi-Limuru commuter train and Nyahururu Safari train schedules starting Thursday, November 12, 2026, citing planned engineering and maintenance works along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta railway corridor.
In a public notice issued on Monday, November 9, Kenya Railways said the adjustments are necessary to facilitate maintenance works along the Nairobi-Kibera-Talanta section of the Metre Gauge Railway line.
Under the revised schedule, the Limuru commuter train will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with services suspended on Mondays and Fridays.
The changes will also affect the Nyahururu Safari train, which will temporarily operate exclusively between Gilgil and Nyahururu, instead of its usual route.
Kenya Railways explained that the adjustments are intended to provide uninterrupted access to the railway line for engineering and maintenance teams while minimising disruptions to train operations.
“These adjustments will ensure uninterrupted track access for engineering and maintenance works; and minimal disruptions to train operations,” the notice stated.
The railway operator apologised to passengers for the inconvenience caused by the temporary changes and thanked members of the public for their continued support.
The revised timetable takes effect on November 12, 2026, with passengers using the affected routes advised to plan their journeys accordingly.
