I am a Ghanian and i like to congratulate my fellow Nigerians for stepping up big time for acquiring these incredible and amazing trains. I hope to see Nigeria having underground subway line in the future. I know that whatever Nigeris puts its mind's on it gets the job done because they are one of the most powerful people in thevworld.😊

Maintenance means further transfer of scarce funds abroad for parts. Can't you guys see the scam in these projects? Eventually, these infrastructures will break down, and lie dormant. Meanwhile, politicians would've collected their kick-backs. The country is virtually broke, and facing extreme lack of economic opportunities, which has resulted in lack of jobs, extreme hardship, crimes, insecurity and chao. And Federal and State Governments are scrambling over each other to sign contracts that pays millions of scarce dollars to foreign firms: 13 billion dollars! 900 million! 400 million! Meanwhile, citizens are suffering extreme hardship and hunger. Signing multi million dollar construction contract with foreign firms is the oldest method the ruling class uses to legitimately transfer funds abroad.
Lagos State people are also facing lack of jobs, extreme hardship, crimes, insecurity and chaos. Lagos Government can also create export industries to generate foreign exchange revenue, and create sustainable jobs. People are suffering, and governments are paying foreign firms $900 million for infrastructure that do not address immediate economic crisis. Infrastructure they cannot even maintain. Wait until a very vital component breaks down.
@ After they pocket their kickbacks, they don't care if their scam-infrastructure is maintained. Wait until a very vital component needs to be urgently replaced. The scam would become obvious.
This development is for (YORUBA WESTERN REGION OF NIGERIA NIGERIA IS A UNION OF ABOUT (57 MINORITY NATIONS), EXCEPT THE (YORUBA REPUBLIC) BEEN THE MOST POPULOUS NOT ONLY IN NIGERIA BUT IN AFRICA
stop mentioning JESUS when it comes to such projects and achievements,he did not build this train ,tell JESUS to go and solve the crises between ISREAL and his PALESTINIAN CRISES some AFRICANS still act brainwashed even in the year 2024 hahaha
Am so glad to read this comment of yours .I haven't been in Lagos for almost 25 years now. But I do know it's a lot of good things that the media doesn't show about African environment also.
It's very encouraging that this happens in Nigeria. More grease to your elbow. But hopefully we'll still be talking positively about this in 20 years. I mean MAINTENANCE. Good luck.
Fabulous re-use of the iconic (nearly 50 year old) UK High Speed trains. I love that the seats which were previously transverse (either coach style or at 2 +2 tables) have been retained and placed longitudinally metro style.
Bros I fell in love with this video this is just like Europe I live in Germany and this is what we are enjoying here God bless Nigeria I we like to have your content ❤❤❤
You live in Germany,(Good) in Germany, Italy or France. Have you seen Them buying an old model Tram to open a new Tram line? I live in Europe as well. Their Tram is far better than those nonsense our government is buying into Nigeria. If you doubt me, I live in Dijon, France, and I have also lived in Germany. The building is beautiful but the Tram nor join….. I come on peace ✌️, I also want Nigeria to be better than the West and Europe, that is my prayer every day
Guy appreciate your government OK. And also don't compare those country with Nigeria. You can't compare their country bank account with Nigeria bank account is different.if Nigeria account is 30 billion dollars assumption America account will be 300 hundred billion dollars. You see the different right. So stop comparing. Appreciate what you have than what you don't have.

Most important thing is some progress is being made; it might not be world class but there's something on ground so all these comparisons are unnecessary imho
@@emmanuelefemena2959why not be content with what you have instead of praying for your own to be better 😢 I live in Germany since 22 years and lived in France for 2 years, I will say I'm celebrating this progress of Nigeria 🎉
Im happy to see Nigeria showing massive upgrade in the rails. I hope to see the same effort in the educational and medical sectors across the whole nation.
The key word here, I think, is “NEW”. I truly wish the people of Lagos well with the sustained success and efficiency of this “revolution”. Having spent much time there in years gone by, I am not as confident as I would like to be in that utopian outcome taking place.
Kenneth, we missed you! Welcome back. You didn’t highlight the escalators, elevators, and staircase options at each of the train stations. This is indeed amazing and I look forward to visiting Nigeria and Lagos in particular soon. God bless Nigeria. 🇳🇬
I believed crossing or walking on rails will be a contravention and illegal,especially to trade. For almost a century,people have been walking and trading by the rails. The rails need demarcation or physical barriers throughout the line.
Yes oh I was thinking about the same thing with regards to the provisions for the disabled at the station and on the train itself do they have disability friendly entrance for wheelchair and in the train itself where are the disabled supposed to seat? We have a long way to go in that country in terms of how we relate to the people with disabilities like it's their fault and they should find solutions to their problems by themselves without the help of the society and governments 😢 Anyone can be disabled suddenly so no one can say I'm exempted!! 😅 We know only this moment bin our lives and no one knows what will happen the next minute! May God help us to remember to be compassionate and care about others. The government has to be at the forefront of making good changes like when we had the operation WAI, It made me realize that the people can change if they have the right government with the right programs so there's hope for the country when we have an enlightened government
Amazing transport infrastructures springing up nicely, now it's time to empower the people so that cost of living become bearable for them to enjoy the luxury.
they aren't very high capacity as the train's original purpose being intercity trains across the uk, they used to be in a 2+2 layout which undoubtedly would've seated more people
This is far better than the trains we have in America. The US government has failed to invest in railway infrastructure purely because of the powerful automobile industry lobby which encourages car usage. Our trains especially the New York subway is dilapidated, filthy and dangerous. The trains are Ricky and the govt believes people don’t need trains. Well done Nigeria,. Keep the trains nd tracks well maintained. It’s a life saver and you will see the difference
Actually the govt has built a wall, almost completed all along that redline corridor to wade off trespassers, and there's surely CCTV just like the Blue line does inside the trains, the stations and along the rail track. It will all come to full effect once commercial operations begin soon. This is still a test run

I am a Nigerian, even though we have these trains, they're not available on every route. The same equivalent of "tro tro" is called Danfo and that's what most people rely on in Lagos. About 70% of commuters still depend on those danfo buses. Africa still has a long way to go...
Good job! Other states in Nigeria should copy this type of investment in infrastructure; they should stop wasting public funds on useless ventures that doesn't impact the citizens.
This is very impressive and commendable. Lagos state is well ripped to have this innovation in order to decongest the traffic hoax all over the state. Aside from building and launching this innovation, the State should ensure an organized Operational management to ensure regular maintenance, security, staffing and revenue accountability that will sustain this innovation. It is needed all across Oshodi, Agbado, Mile 2 Apapa and Victoria Island. Commendations to the governor and his entire team.
The infrastructure is well needed. Money put to good use. Our Africans market women and sellers are stubborn. Walking through train tracks is never advisable any where in the world. The government will have to form some disciplinary measures for citizens walking or selling between train tracks, if not, catastrophic waiting to happen.
These are ex-British trains that used to operate as the Intercity 125 service connecting the major cities of the UK. They were built mostly in the 1970s/early 1980s and were a reliable workhorse on the British rail system for years. Good to see them getting a new lease of life in West Africa. Weird seeing the seating arrangements like that in these trains cos they always used to be rowed seating but then these are now being used as local commuter trains so this seating arrangement maximises standing space
Yes, but you are talking bout the British Lokomotive powered engine that pulls the train coaches. The coaches themselves are brand new by Talgo USA not British.
@@Freddvibzey The coaches are the MK3 coaches that forms part of the HST. They're not new Talgo sets. I travelled on them for 20 years, and work for the UK Railway. I'd recognise them anywhere. The Talgo sets do feature at 09:50 when he points at the other train.
Tinubu doing some great things in Nigera. These city trains are some of the things we can only dream of in Nairobi. A Kenyan youtuber living in Lagos also said the electricity situation is improving tremendously.
@@abrahamtschukudu808 no! it is not buhari,it is the state. (this are on blue print since the days of lateef jakande,buhari only help lagos in signing memos to borrow loan)
You make these trips look so easy. Have you been to the Metro and Bus stations during rush hours my brother? 🤣🤣🤣 I live in the same Lagos, and I use them sometimes. I appreciate your video, but getting on these transport systems is not always easy.
Great work. Appreciate showing us the Red Line. The picture quality and sound quality is very commendable. However I have a few observations which I will want you to take on with a positive view. It will be good if you work on the accuracy of the information you are providing and the correct names of the locations and thier historical importance. You called Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) a stadium, it is not. It is actually of great historical importance. You said Lagos has a population of 28million, also not true. The Cowrie Creek Bridge is not the first bridge in Lagos. You said the next rail line to be constructed is the Purple Line, also not true. You should also learn to pronounce the names of the locations correctly. Content creators are the journalists of many, so you should ensure your information is correct. Please keep up the good work. I see greatness coming!
They will need elevators and escalators for those who can’t use the steps especially the elders and disabled!!! Kudos, progress is gradually coming. It is not just building the train system that matters, don’t forget you have to periodically service the maintenance for safety of the people and to avoid disasters.
Hurraaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Lagos state for the improvement. Please install escalators so children and less able to walk like elderly and disabled can access the platform to the train. Thank you 😊
Nice one!l commented on the headrest some local champion lagosians was insulting me for pointing out the wrong design.The headrest is blocking light and even stopping people from seeing their whereabout and move closer to the door.lt's a metro not a train everything will happens quickly,people having a good sense of their whereabout on the metrto is important..People will only realize this flaw when the metro start working properly and full of passengers..Lagos need urban renewal man,most part of the city need cleaning.Even the stations need landscaping.Thank you.
Don't worry, new new metro trains have been purchased for this redline and are on the way, These 2 Talgo trains were bought from America and was originally designed for interstate travel between Miami and Milwaukee city. The Lagos state govt had to convert hence the sitting arrangement. Once the new coaches come in, these ones would probably be given to the Nigerian Railway corporation owned by Federal Govt to run Lagos ibadan route since they share the same rail corridor.
@suntanglory don't worry much about it,there are new trains being manufactured that will arrive end of the year,the GWR can suffice till then..u are right concerning the cleaning and renewal I believe its under implantation..its not going to be a walk in the park as over population itself brings chaos and dirt due to poor practices of p00r ppl but they have started demolishing shanties along that axis and trying to beautify the view of the mainland...I wish them well

FANTASTIC👏👏👏, But PLEASE, Maintenance,Maintenance..MAINTENANCE....That has always been our BIGGEST problem in Nigeria. And if care is not taken,hawkers will take over the tracks and stairways..AS USUAL
I don't want to talk this down as it's a big deal and I'm incredibly happy to see Nigeria building the infrastructure it needs. However, these trains were built in the 1970s (Intercity 125s, also known as HSTs) in the UK. They served us very well and revolutionised Intercity rail travel in the UK and as a member of railway staff in the UK, it's great to see them still going. But while they're being used as metro trains for now, they're not designed as such and don't perform brilliantly for suburban style stopping patterns. They also aren't up to modern crash safety standards (God forbid). I hope these are replaced with new build metro trains soon, because you'll see a big difference and your metro will be even better than now. But everyone has to start somewhere and wish your city all the success with expansion and operation.
This is a pure lie, this is talgo series 8 and this particular train was Manufactured in Wisconsin and delivered in 2013. You can fact check it is different from the UK own. So don't lie about what you don't know.
@@shonibaresulaimon4432 This isn't a Talgo 8. I suggest you actually look at what a Talgo 8 is lol. Talgo 8s have been purchased, but this exact train isn't it. So don't act smart

This is great and commendable. Its a good one, I would like to recommend that the sustenance of this project should be giving priority. Likewise, the LSG should consider erecting like like a barrier between the waiting line and the trail track to prevent motalities.

It is needed all across Oshodi, Agbado, Mile 2 Apapa and Victoria Island. Commendations to the governor and his entire team.
God bless Nigeria
Big congratulations to Nigeria my country ❤
Great video!
Well done my brother, you're doing a good job
This is awesome. Great job, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Watching from Nairobi
The infrastructure is well needed. Money put to good use. Our Africans market women and sellers are stubborn. Walking through train tracks is never advisable any where in the world. The government will have to form some disciplinary measures for citizens walking or selling between train tracks, if not, catastrophic waiting to happen.
Thanks our dear Ghanaian sister 😅
Kenneth Weldon brother. You done dey chop money. 😄Congrats

Thanks for the informations
Nice ones bros Congratulations to nigeria ❤ God bless nigeria in Jesus name Amen
These are ex-British trains that used to operate as the Intercity 125 service connecting the major cities of the UK. They were built mostly in the 1970s/early 1980s and were a reliable workhorse on the British rail system for years. Good to see them getting a new lease of life in West Africa.
Weird seeing the seating arrangements like that in these trains cos they always used to be rowed seating but then these are now being used as local commuter trains so this seating arrangement maximises standing space
Yes, but you are talking bout the British Lokomotive powered engine that pulls the train coaches. The coaches themselves are brand new by Talgo USA not British.
@@Freddvibzey Oh OK, thanks for that.
@@Muzakman37ok delete your comment because it’s false
@@ayjay4273 Excuse me? Be quiet.
@@Freddvibzey The coaches are the MK3 coaches that forms part of the HST. They're not new Talgo sets. I travelled on them for 20 years, and work for the UK Railway. I'd recognise them anywhere. The Talgo sets do feature at 09:50 when he points at the other train.
Tinubu doing some great things in Nigera. These city trains are some of the things we can only dream of in Nairobi.
A Kenyan youtuber living in Lagos also said the electricity situation is improving tremendously.
Credit goes to the governor of Lagos state not the president lol. It a state project not the federal government
This is Buhari legacy. Which tinugu?
@@abrahamtschukudu808 no! it is not buhari,it is the state. (this are on blue print since the days of lateef jakande,buhari only help lagos in signing memos to borrow loan)
@@abrahamtschukudu808gej legacy make we no change am.
Are you not aware Kenya has it's morden SGR?? Which has been in existence even before the Nija ones??
God is on Africa now. African needs a new mindset. God bless Africa
Wow 😍 that’s impressive 😍
Congratulations.
Nice video. Glad you are open minded. Kudos to Lagos State Government. How many minutes was the trip from Agbado to Oyingbo ?
This is lovely❤ i still strongly believe in africa it will only take time but soon definitely😊
You make these trips look so easy. Have you been to the Metro and Bus stations during rush hours my brother? 🤣🤣🤣
I live in the same Lagos, and I use them sometimes. I appreciate your video, but getting on these transport systems is not always easy.
These developments are loooong overdue. But well done to the LASG.
nice one am lagos N G
Creating jobs for those attendant.. I work on railway for 15yrs here in UK ..always a good job ..
Wonderful to watch
We need more people like nwache in nigeria
Great work. Appreciate showing us the Red Line. The picture quality and sound quality is very commendable.
However I have a few observations which I will want you to take on with a positive view.
It will be good if you work on the accuracy of the information you are providing and the correct names of the locations and thier historical importance. You called Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) a stadium, it is not. It is actually of great historical importance. You said Lagos has a population of 28million, also not true. The Cowrie Creek Bridge is not the first bridge in Lagos. You said the next rail line to be constructed is the Purple Line, also not true. You should also learn to pronounce the names of the locations correctly. Content creators are the journalists of many, so you should ensure your information is correct.
Please keep up the good work. I see greatness coming!
Very good
They will need elevators and escalators for those who can’t use the steps especially the elders and disabled!!! Kudos, progress is gradually coming. It is not just building the train system that matters, don’t forget you have to periodically service the maintenance for safety of the people and to avoid disasters.
Omo see Lagos red line train, look like aircraft...🤣🤣🤣
Hurraaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Lagos state for the improvement. Please install escalators so children and less able to walk like elderly and disabled can access the platform to the train. Thank you 😊
Nice one!l commented on the headrest some local champion lagosians was insulting me for pointing out the wrong design.The headrest is blocking light and even stopping people from seeing their whereabout and move closer to the door.lt's a metro not a train everything will happens quickly,people having a good sense of their whereabout on the metrto is important..People will only realize this flaw when the metro start working properly and full of passengers..Lagos need urban renewal man,most part of the city need cleaning.Even the stations need landscaping.Thank you.
Don't worry, new new metro trains have been purchased for this redline and are on the way, These 2 Talgo trains were bought from America and was originally designed for interstate travel between Miami and Milwaukee city. The Lagos state govt had to convert hence the sitting arrangement. Once the new coaches come in, these ones would probably be given to the Nigerian Railway corporation owned by Federal Govt to run Lagos ibadan route since they share the same rail corridor.
@suntanglory don't worry much about it,there are new trains being manufactured that will arrive end of the year,the GWR can suffice till then..u are right concerning the cleaning and renewal I believe its under implantation..its not going to be a walk in the park as over population itself brings chaos and dirt due to poor practices of p00r ppl but they have started demolishing shanties along that axis and trying to beautify the view of the mainland...I wish them well
@@Freddvibzey You really are nice to reply him. This dude is the most difficult person on UA-cam whenever it comes to things about Nigeria. I'm sure he's an hater or something. He drops similar comments like this on posts about trains in Lagos and I've seen people give him the exact response you just did. I used to answer him until I got used to seeing his name attached to silly comments.
He can't tell you he is not aware that these trains are temporary and that the ones for this line are coming soon. He is just being difficult. Your explanation doesn't mean he won't repeat this comment in the comment section of any Lagos rail related post. Even his comment has proof that he has raised this topic several times.

He talks as if he was the one who told the government the right type of train they ought to buy for the blue line
❤❤❤WOW WOW WOW THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WOW, GOD BLESS EVERYONE IN JESÚS NAME AMEEEEEEEEEEEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
FANTASTIC👏👏👏, But PLEASE, Maintenance,Maintenance..MAINTENANCE....That has always been our BIGGEST problem in Nigeria. And if care is not taken,hawkers will take over the tracks and stairways..AS USUAL
Great vid.
Woow very nice
Jagaban master plan must continue in Lagos.
The stations still need to be connected to lagos major population areas so its easily accessible. No need to take a car ride there first
I don't want to talk this down as it's a big deal and I'm incredibly happy to see Nigeria building the infrastructure it needs. However, these trains were built in the 1970s (Intercity 125s, also known as HSTs) in the UK. They served us very well and revolutionised Intercity rail travel in the UK and as a member of railway staff in the UK, it's great to see them still going. But while they're being used as metro trains for now, they're not designed as such and don't perform brilliantly for suburban style stopping patterns. They also aren't up to modern crash safety standards (God forbid). I hope these are replaced with new build metro trains soon, because you'll see a big difference and your metro will be even better than now. But everyone has to start somewhere and wish your city all the success with expansion and operation.
This is a pure lie, this is talgo series 8 and this particular train was Manufactured in Wisconsin and delivered in 2013. You can fact check it is different from the UK own. So don't lie about what you don't know.
Wrong train.
You lie. The talgo 8 can never have been built in the 70s. Go do your due deligence.
Talgo 8? Na
@@shonibaresulaimon4432 This isn't a Talgo 8. I suggest you actually look at what a Talgo 8 is lol. Talgo 8s have been purchased, but this exact train isn't it. So don't act smart
nice one
I'm more excited for the content creator.....he's just happy about it
*Nigerians just want to live a comfortable life. If the politicians will only understand
This is great and commendable. Its a good one, I would like to recommend that the sustenance of this project should be giving priority. Likewise, the LSG should consider erecting like like a barrier between the waiting line and the trail track to prevent motalities. It happens here in this part of the world where people just commit suicidal acts
Nice one. However I don't understand why the chairs are like face me I face you. I think the other way round would be better so that passengers can also see the view outside
Good !
Nice one to Build is good but to maintain is another one we pray they follow up with it so that people don,t mess up with it
Cool

Great job from Julius Berger
Lagos State keep it up
