After weeks of suspension, the Abuja–Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) resumes operations on Wednesday, October 1.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) now dedicates every Wednesday to maintenance, ensuring passengers enjoy safe and reliable journeys.
Passenger Care And Compensation
The resumption follows the August 26 incident that disrupted travel and shook many commuters.
Since then, NRC staff have contacted 530 of the 583 passengers, issued refunds to 512, and offered weekly free rides to all 618 people on board during the accident.
Moreover, the corporation’s medical team has treated the 22 injured passengers, demonstrating NRC’s renewed commitment to passenger care.

The AKTS timetable clearly guides travellers.
Trains depart Abuja’s IDU station at 8.45 a.m., stop at Kubwa at 9.05 a.m., and arrive in Rigassa at 12.42 p.m.
However, on the return leg, trains leave Rigassa at 2.30 p.m., reach Kubwa at 6.02 p.m., and arrive at IDU at 6.23 p.m.
Furthermore, NRC officials have thanked passengers for their patience during the suspension and emphasised their determination to provide safe, reliable, affordable, and customer-friendly train services nationwide.
Ultimately, with operations back on track, commuters can now enjoy dependable journeys between the nation’s capital and Kaduna.
