Passenger Train to cross the Nile again
Greetings good people.
We have been cooking on all fronts to extend our services wide and far.
Preparations for the train to Jinja are in the final phase. We have heard the calls, and as listening sector players, it is incumbent upon us to respond to the calls.
This trip will start as a weekend service. We shall depart Kampala on Fridays and return on Sundays. We are not talking years to come. This is happening this year 2026.
After the acquisition of more rolling stock (a process that is ongoing), the trips to and from Jinja will increase. The target is to have a daily scheduled train crossing the Nile.
Next up,
1. Preperations for AfCON
2. Clearance of ALL ENCROACHMENT on URC land. We heard the calls, it is time to clear the reserve completly.

Good Morning, Comrades.
Yesterday, onboard the train were holiday makers of @SeromaHigh.
During such times, the roads are congested because many schools are breaking off for holidays. Having the service helps to remove a sizable number of cars off the roads.
How it works: Students board the train from the Mukono ICD and are transported a long the route, with stops at the different halts. For other routes to be added, the boarding points will be communicated.
At each stop, the parents are waiting to pick their children.
With us, you don’t have to set aside an entire day just to pick your child from school.
The end goal is to deploy the service whenever students are heading out for holidays and during school opening days, along all the routes we have, and those to be added.
