Kenya Railways needs USD335m to upgrade Nairobi lines

Post by John Ashworth »

$335M NEEDED TO UPGRADE NAIROBI LINES

On October 16, 2012 Railways Africa

Kenya Railway Corporation (KRC) needs an estimated $US335 million to rehabilitate 100km of existing lines in Nairobi under a PPP model. The rehabilitation works will include replacing existing track, inefficient signalling equipment, stations and locomotive-hauled coaches with modern and efficient rail infrastructure and passenger coaches. Diesel multiple-units, KRC points out, are better suited to commuter rail than loco-hauled sets.
