New fast train arrives in Nairobi

The existing commuter trains are not seen as very reliable A new commuter train has been launched in Kenya's capital, Nairobi - the first of its kind since independence in 1963. The train will run between the city centre and the suburb of Syokimau, where Kenya has built its first train station in more than 80 years. The service is intended to ease traffic congestion in Nairobi, one of the fastest-growing African cities with a population of about three million.
