Some sets of high speed trains said to be among the fastest in Africa - have arrived Nigeria. The trains were received recently at Lagos Port, months after some Nigerian delegates inspected the rail coaches in Nanjing, China . The rail coaches were inspected on September 12.

According to reports, the 10 standard-gauge trains were ordered by Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) in May this year. They have adopted Chinese standards, and will be the fastest trains running in Africa, with a design speed of 160 km/h. Operation speed could be as high as 150 km/h.

The China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Nanjing Puzhen has finished 10 orders for six African countries so far, including Nigeria, Sudan, Cameron, and Kenya.

if sudan kenya and cameroon can place orders then there is nothing to be celebrated about. with prudent management of resources nigeria should be looking at TGV.

get live

Op

This is what high speed trains look like

Stop lying to the people

so Nigeria can't buy new trains?

Jonathan's plan for rail projects is yielding fruits

OP, how can you call these high-speed trains?

According to Wikipedia

"High-speed railis a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stockand dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, new lines in excess of 250 kilometres per hour (160 miles per hour) and existing lines in excess of 200 kilometres per hour (120 miles per hour) are widely considered to be high-speed..."

None of them will be of a service for the east. But they will tell you they are one niger area.



Make una continue punishing us why God continue to punish una.
