Kenya Railways (KR) will in the next two weeks introduce premium class seats on its standard gauge rail (SGR) passenger trains, charging customers up to three times the fares it charges currently on its first-class coaches on the Madaraka Express train between Nairobi and Mombasa.

The services, which will be launched next month will see passengers pay Sh12,000 on the premium class coaches from Nairobi to Mombasa, in a service that is set to improve passenger experience between the two destinations.
