The corporation further assured the public of seamless service, a day after the SGR passenger train was delayed by almost two hours following an unscheduled stop between Mtito Andei and Kibwezi.
It later emerged that a section of the rail had been vandalised by unknown individuals.
“Kenya Railways further assures the public that security checks are constantly run along all our lines to ensure the safety of all our services. Any delays occasioned by these checks are therefore regrettable but unavoidable. The Corporation continues to work with the relevant government security agencies to ensure all our services run seamlessly and with utmost safety” said Kenya Railways.
The management apologised for the disruption maintaining that the safety of passengers was paramount.
