Why we adjusted Abuja-Kaduna train time schedule – NRC

The Nigerian Railway Corporation has adjusted tge take-off time for its last two trains from Idu (Abuja) to Rigasa (Kaduna) and vice versa by about 30 minutes.

The Manager, Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS), Mr Pascal Nnorli, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the adjustments were to ensure early arrival of the trains to its destinations.

According to Nnorli, the trains will now depart 30 minutes earlier than its previous take-off time.

He said, “The AK3 from Idu (Abuja) which takes off at 3:30pm to arrive at Rigasa (Kaduna) at 5:38pm, will now leave at 3:00pm., to arrive at 5:08pm.

“Also, the KA4 train of 2:00 p.m. from Rigasa(Kaduna) will now depart from Rigasa at 1:30 p.m. and arrive at Idu(Abuja) at 3:37 p.m. instead of 4:07 p.m.”

Nnorli, however, reiterated the commitment of the corporation to ensure safety of its passengers and properties onboard its trains at all times.

NAN reports that the NRC resumed services along the Abuja-Kaduna rail corridor on December 5 after over eight months of non-operation. (NAN)
