  • According to the firm, the train has a standard capacity of 588 passengers, with a limited passenger density of not more than 3/5, in accordance with the Nigerian government’s pandemic prevention and control requirements.

It tweeted, “We’ve been waiting for this moment! At 8:00 a.m. on December 7, 2020, the main line of the Lagos-Ibadan railway, the first double-track standard gauge modern railway in West Africa, commenced trial operations with passengers. On the same day, the acceptance process started on the main line of the railway.
