“DMUs are a key part of the NCR revitalisation masterplan and will be important in helping us achieve our goal of moving eight million commuter passengers by 2022,” KRC says. According to KRC around 30,000 passengers a day currently travel on locomotive-hauled trains on the 160km NCR network. Last week KRC introduced a new timetable with additional peak services from Embakasi Village and Kahawa to Nairobi.
