We are still moving slowly, not much vibrations or noise, when the speed increases I will see the noise levels. The payment is by cash only.

To a new train traveller it is called transformation. But to me nothing has change, the greatest undoing of the Yar'adua/GEJ govt is stopping the construction of the standard gauge rail line and reconstructing the old narrow gauge line.

Please stop misinforming the public. Standard gauge rail construction is ongoing.
