Passenger train services on the Nairobi-Kisumu line will restart on Friday after more than a decade, offering competition to public service vehicles that have dominated the western Kenya routes.

Kenya Railway Corporation managing director Philip Mainga said on Wednesday that commuters travelling from Nairobi to Kisumu will pay Sh600 fare on second class coaches and Sh2,000 on first class for the 12-hour journey.
