Do we still have train moving from Southwest (Lagos) to Northern State (like Kano) currently? Do you have an idea @ Folake4u or anyone |

Bad experience for me The first time from Lagos to Know 2019 I boarded first class, at first the train detached on getting to Ibadan, after much fixing, my coach was without light for a while, they fixed that, and all was good until we got to Niger Omo to climb one particular hill like that, the name sounds like shawkwata, In fact, the engine knocked, they brought in engine from Kaduna, he no work, even brought in one from Kano, he still no gree work, What even baffled me was the fact, that a couple was relocating with their three kids, and the kids are visiting Nigeria for the first time, omo, we spend, three days inside bush, this kids were asking for burger inside bush, speaking American English for us. We tell them welcome to Nigeria. One of them pool inside nylon and was asking the mom, why should she pool inside a nylon. What to do inside this kind matter. It wasn't funny ooo. Some of the staffs wanted to leave us and japaa but thank God they were apprehended and thus, they had to provide food and security for us. Na luxurious bus kukuma take me to Kano. I sha came back with train, a better experience but when we almost reach Lagos, he stopped working, and I reach the next day, but never to use again until I see a massive change 2 Likes |

Re: Share Your Train Ride Experience In Nigeria by JubrinElSudan: 8:04pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
folake4u:Nope, I didn't say they don't issue out tickets in the morning. I said that particular day when I got there, there was too much crowd who couldn't get tickets and they said we should wait till afternoon ride. The engine room, not where the engine is tho(we passed through the engine to enter a particular coach but they closed the door of that coach after they had admitted some persons), but where the engineer stays. The engineer that day was a Nigerian Soldier who was drafted to NRC |

I'm still trying to get the train experience Have you been having car problems, join Flickwheel and change your car story. Get a healthier car with professionals tending your car while you can take loans and pay back installmentally. |
Re: Share Your Train Ride Experience In Nigeria by Lemonadewifey: 10:34pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
alberson:Take a car from Port Harcourt to Delta, when you arrive Delta take keke to train station at ujevwu. Buy your ticket to Itakpe. Once you arrive Itakpe which is the last stop, you'll see cars going to Abuja. I hope this helps 2 Likes 1 Share |

folake4u: Two hours, fifty minutes. |
Re: Share Your Train Ride Experience In Nigeria by Lemonadewifey: 6:16am On Mar 03, 2022 |
alberson:If you're going with your personal car or you decide to hire a cab that can take you to Delta early before 8am then yes you can meet up. Truth is they don't keep to time sometimes due to one reason or the other so, the train might leave by 8am on the dot or after 8am/8;30am but it's best you're there before the said time. |

I used the train again back to Abuja during the weekend. I decided to board the Economy class this time and I met lots of crazy characters here. It seems that the train ride is fast gaining momentum as we saw lots of passengers who were waiting for the train at Uromi railway station. 1 Like

I may not be a fan of Buhari, but I must confess he won my respect by reviving the train sector. Well done to him. |
