Kenya Railways explained that the suspension of the Sunday 10 PM train was a result of a technical hitch and was working to resolve it.
“We wish to reiterate that the train suspension was due to a technical hitch and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
“Thank you for your patience and understanding. Kenya Railways prioritizes your safety and comfort,” the statement concluded.
On Sunday, hundreds of Kenyans who had booked the train were left stranded after the railway operator announced its suspension.
The passengers took to social media to express their anger at the Kenya Railways’ decision.
The suspension came hours after other passengers travelling from Kwale County missed the 2 PM train due to a police roadblock at the Dongo Kundu bypass.
