Why were the Nairobi-Kisumu train journeys suspended?
Train services on the line had been suspended to allow for repair works.
The services were hampered due to the effect of the heavy rain that fell earlier this year which left the railway tracks in the Thogoto area of Kiambu county hanging.
Residents claim soil damage caused by heavy rains.
In order to repair the line and others, the government estimated the repair cost to be at least KSh 1 billion due to the extent of the damage, which affected passenger services and cargo transportation.
