Terminus

Nairobi Terminus is a railway station on the Mombasa–Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) located in Syokimau, just south of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Three passenger trains leave the station every day, an inter-county train that stops at all stations and two express trains that go directly to Mombasa Terminus.[2]

The Nairobi Terminus station was built next to the existing Syokimau station, which allows passengers to transfer from standard gauge trains to metre gauge trains to get to the Nairobi city centre.[3]
