KRC also issued an apology to its customers who will be affected by the temporary suspension.
“Service will resume on Monday, January 12, 2026. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused,” KRC added.
This comes months after the corporation suspended 4 train services within Nairobi.
In a statement on June 25, 2025, Kenya Railways announced a temporary suspension of Nairobi - Ruiru, Nairobi -Embakasi Village, Nairobi - Lukenya, and Nairobi – Syokimau train services.
KRC explained that the services were suspended due to the anti-government protests at the time.
"We wish to notify members of the public that commuter train services for Nairobi- Ruiru, Nairobi-Embakasi village, Nairobi Lukenya, and Nairobi Syokimau have been temporarily suspended.
"We are compelled to take these precautionary measures because the safety of our customers is of paramount importance to us," the service provider stated.
KRC pointed out that as a safety precaution, the train operations were temporarily halted until a time when it was determined that it is safe.
"We will advise you once normal services resume. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused," read the statement in part.
