Train Services Resume On Kaduna-Abuja Route With Low Passenger Turnout
The Nigerian Railway Company (NRC) on Saturday resumed providers on the Abuja-Kaduna route two days after it suspended operations following an explosion that rocked a piece of the rail monitor on Wednesday evening.
The company introduced suspension of all operations alongside the route on Thursday after a practice nearly suffered a derailment on the Rijanna space of Kaduna because of an explosion on the rail line.
However regular operations resumed on the Rigasa practice station in Kaduna on Saturday after the restore of the broken portion of the monitor.
Nonetheless, Channels Tv noticed that there was a low turnout of passengers on the route regardless of the heavy deployment of extra safety forces on the practice.
Passengers referred to as for extra safety officers to be deployed alongside the path to reassure commuters.
Rail journey is probably the most secure and most cost-effective possibility for navigating between Abuja and Kaduna as a result of rising insecurity on the highways.
However Wednesday explosion might have created extra fears within the minds of rail travellers as industrial motor parks plying the route have been witnessing a excessive quantity of patronage.
