The Kenya Railways Corporation (KR) has suspended an earlier directive that would have seen foreign passengers pay higher fares for the Madaraka Express train.

Non-Kenyans travelling by rail between Nairobi and the tourist hub of Mombasa would have had to part with Sh4,000 for a first class ticket and Sh1,200 for economy class starting today.
