Rift Valley Railways (RVR) officials have confirmed that the Passenger Train Services are set to start in October 2015, with more than six coaches (wagons) ready for use, according to Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) spokesperson Peter Kaujju. Each wagon will carry more than 120 passengers.
“RVR has started demarcating stages at various points from Namanve to Kampala in the east of the city, then to Kyengera in the south,” Mr Kaujju added.
KCCA, together with Uganda Railways Corporation, RVR, Uganda Electricity Distribution Company and police on Monday commenced the removal of the makeshift structures erected along the railway line reserve area.
