SGR inayo uwezo wa kubeba abiria 1200!

Uwezo wa kubeba abiria 1200 ni sawa na uwezo wa mabasi 24 sitting capacity 50. Mtihani mkubwa wamiliki wa mabasi.
SGR train can ferry 1,200 per trip




A passenger train scheduled to operate on the standard gauge railway has the capacity to ferry 1,200 passengers per trip, the Kenya Railways has said.

Managing Director Atanas Maina on Monday said only one train would operate between Mombasa and Nairobi from May 31.

DAILY TRIP

President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to launch the service that is aimed at reducing travel time and congestion on roads between the capital and Mombasa Island.

The train, Mr Maina said, will operate one daily return trip between Mombasa and Nairobi.

The frequency, he added, may be reviewed depending on passenger demand.

aunch of SGR cargo train service put off to December


Kenya has pushed the start of the standard gauge train cargo service to December, giving a temporary relieve to truckers and container freight station (CFS) investors.

Officials say that SGR trains have capacity to clear Mombasa’s cargo population at a rate of 1,000 containers per day.

According to Kenya Railways, the country has received 25 freight locomotives out of the 43 on order. It has also received 763 wagons out of the 1,620 units ordered for.

The 25-tonne axle flat wagons can each carry a payload of 70 tonnes, implying 113,4000 tonnes can be hauled if all of them are deployed on a single trip to Nairobi.

The trains are designed to run at a speed of 120 km per hour but will move at a lower speed of 80 km per hour, covering the 472km to Nairobi in just under six hours.


Transport Principal Secretary Paul Maringa said direct cargo haulage of the SGR’s portion of the port’s one million-a-year containers to Nairobi inland container depots (ICD) will start by end year. “The freight uptake via SGR will considerably increase rail transport capacity once the operations commence in December 2017, and in accordance with the commitment made in the Mombasa Port Community Charter, signed in June 2014,” said Prof Maringa. Truckers and CFSs, which have thrived on congestion at the port, have previously raised concern over survival of their businesses in the era of fast trains.
