You wan use Lagos mentality take board train way dey travel far? No try am oh! This one dey speed wella and na inside engine breeze go blow you put...

Sanchase:
What a third world country, 29 hours for this trip, this is a risk of human lives. You are lucky armed robbers didn't jump out from bush to attack.

I would rather go by foot.

Oh really!

How long will it take to get to Kano from Ibadan on your feet?

This is awesome. I was shocked the first time I was to board train from Dugbe in Ibadan to Lagos. .The crowd was massive and intimidating couldn't believe people still patronise railway, it was survival of the fittest as I had to stand in the aisle from Ibadan to Abeokuta as i couldn't locate the first class coach on time. it was an unforgettable experience.
I have however learnt How it works. It pays When not in a hurry.

hybeenoni:
@ Highvoltage, yea something like that.

Which day of the week do they normally go or is it everyday?
@op?

Please is there provision for bathing?

nkemdi89:

Lol.

What a funny question!

hybeenoni:
So I decided to go by train to kano due to my bitter experience the last time I tried going to kano from Ibadan by road ( The Young Shall Grow Motors).

Enjoy

OP PLEASE HOW MUCH IS THE T-FARE?

seyoops4u:
I want our government to improve this rail system. It would be smth nice if one can travel on holidays/weekends to other part of the country.


But, Iayam afraid the Government won't improve on it. Why, u may ask ?

They knw the problems of the country but they can't not help joor... If the rail system is effective, u'll agree with me that most people won't go to office with their cars (thereby not buying fuel ) - that's bad market for the oil sector(government).




And It faster....

Lol You Are Even Making The Government Seem Smart By Saying They Know About Repercussions.

The Nigerian Government Don't Have Smart Ass Nerds Who Can Introduce Insightful Ideas That Can Solve Major Problems Which Can Have Good Effect On The Citizens.

USA has youngies that can outsmart all this small issues that look big in Nigeria Govt eyes.

We Need Help. We Need White Young Nerds.

Abeg,
Remain for your USA till Trump win, you go know say Naija get talent.

SweetJoystick:

17 hours is the same as 5pm. Not the duration of the journey

#FAIL. 17:00 hours is 5pm. I'm very sure those who wrote on the board know it. The 17hours there most likely represents the duration of the journey. Also Nigerians are not known for the use of 24hour time, even nairaland still uses the 12hour system.

danberg:
Thanks for this educative thread OP. A little disappointed though, my thinking was that there would be foldable/portable beds for 1st class passengers. That was what I was told by a NRC ticketing officer at their Ebutte Meta Terminus.

Why journey in a train for so long if there are no sleeper cabins/coaches for 1st class passengers at least?

you can adjust your seat in the first class coach to look like a bed so you can lie on it. and that's first class seater coach. Dont know if there are first class sleeper coaches anymore

@ tsamson, it's #3750 from ibadan to kano, and it leaves only on Fridays and leaves kano for lagos on mondays.

No bathing facility, just water system toilet and has enough water for flushing.

NB: this is just for first class coach because I didn't use economy class and would know of theirs.

we need more of this so that people can really have an interest in the train service.let them do something about the delay n make their website efficient n effective for people

do anybody have any idea if I can get the ticket here in Lagos and the cost for Lagos to kano?tnks

uboma:




Lol.

What a funny question!

Haha someone of us are into the ritual of bathing at least twice daily no matter the situation.

Ashraf123:

Happy birthday to you Ashraf123 may your road be smooth and your days be bright and also Eid mubarak

Is there a way one can charge gadgets in any of the transport classes? Since it is such a long journey. I believe one needs these things to prevent boredom

thanks alot dear. Eid el mubaraq

@Hybeenoni.What safety measures would you advice I take on board because I have heard of theft cases.I hope placing my bags on the space provided above the seat is safe for a brother or should I just carry the bag on my leg considering the stuff I have inside the bag

When they have modern trains like the rest of the world they should call me.

Ashraf123:

Ehnehn. Never knew and I've been there myriads time. Thanks bro. I'd love to check naija's train and railway out.

I greet Nigeria oooo.trains in the north,west and east despite their terrible geographical terrain with hills n rock.here in the south south there are no functional train despite obj building one to Aladja even with our more friendly plain setting.its obvious our oil money belong more to others.oya avengers go an avenge.

@ zealous it's a public transport nt a private one, so u just be vigilant. Though first class coach is very secured coz of presence of those Man o war providing security

@ sammisticated, it doesn't go to zamfara, u can either drop along the way, either at minna, zaria or kaduna, depending on its closeness to ur zamfara.
