Revenue from cargo ferried via the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) dropped by 2.7 percent in the three months to March, despite an increase in tonnage after the operator cut charges of moving goods on the line to boost business.

Data from Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) show earnings from the railway line were recorded at Sh3.08 billion compared to Sh3.17 billion in the corresponding period last year.
