His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta officially commissioned the Standard Gauge Railway – Metre Gauge Railway Passenger Rail Link at the Kenya Railways Mai Mahiu Station in Naivasha, Nakuru County on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.
The 5km link will enable seamless shifting of passengers traveling to Western Kenya by train from the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to the Meter Gauge Railway (MGR) and vice versa, thereby significantly reducing travel time.
The Link will enable passengers travel exclusively by rail from Mombasa through Kilifi, Kwale, Taita Taveta, Makueni, Machakos, Kijiado and Nairobi onwards to Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kitale, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Malaba and Bungoma.
