    In Kenya we're serious about time that's why you see everyone walking in a hurry 😊

      I don’t think he missed it because of time, it was an error in his booking. They booked it for tomorrow!

    Sorry bro, unfortunately for SGR,the date and time you book,is when you travel...it can't be rescheduled to suit you, it's strict but very punctual and safe.

    No worries bro. Try to get to the SGR one hour before departure to avoid the last minute rush. The train always leaves on time. Remember security check and boarding can take 30 minutes to an hour so if your train leaves at 6:00 you must be at the station at 5:00, because right at 6 am the doors are shut and the train departs. They cannot waste a second as it throws the entire rail schedule into disarray. Remember this train has scheduled stops as well as passengers in Mombasa waiting for it to board. It needs to be cleaned before boarding as well as interchanges which happen along route with the cargo trains at specific schedules.
    It may appear harsh or inflexible however on a single rail SGR it must work like clockwork to avoid a collapse of the scheduling system.
    Tomorrow is your day!!
    All the best bro.

      Thanks for the info but I didn't miss the train because of time, I started the journey at 5am if you watched the Start of the video. The only issue was a mistake in the booking

    Oh! I know that feeling, I always miss my trains but luckily here in Sweden you can just catch the next one without buying another ticket but then the problem comes if you have connect train(s) a long the way, it can get very stressful. We are waiting for the Mombasa videos👌

    The train from Nairobi to kisumu goes one time a week. (Friday) the train from Nairobi to Mombasa goes 3 times a day. The train from Nairobi to Nanyuki goes two times a week Tuesday and Friday.

    Hi UG CONNECT!
    Sorry about your missed,trip on the train.
    I think you should polish up,your time keeping,and knowing the procedure before hand.
    I remember you also missed your flight to Nairobi from Entebbe .

    • @ugconnect
      @ugconnect  Рік тому

      I didn't miss it because of time, It's clear I started this journey at 5 am in the morning if you watch the vlog keenly. We just made a mistake while booking.
      About missing my flight at Entebbe, Still I was on time but security detained and delayed me.

    Hi UgC. I am sorry for what you went through. I am a great fan of Madaraka express but since they stopped cash booking I do it myself so that I am sure of the date. Get to the terminus 2 hours early if you want to be safe from disappointments.

    Never tell them "twende chap chap" They may end up causing an accident by driving carelessly. The Boda guy was so honest though.

    The last minute booking looked chaotic .😅 No biggie though. tomorrow is another day. Kindly note there are also 2 pm and 10pm trains as well. Just make sure you arrive at SGR at least one hour in advance.

    Sorry about the missed travel. The SGR is however more punctual than the airport. Just be there 2 hours before time to get your affairs in order then laze around the station. It will save you a lot of stress

  • @Unclemiffato100
    @Unclemiffato100 Рік тому

    Normally for flights and long distance travel, I give myself 2 hour’s advance arrival for hiccups etc. I avoid giving myself short times to avoid rush situations. Even for intercity travel e.g London to Any other city, I arrive at the train station 60 mins early.
