The passenger train service along the Mukono-Kampala route has resumed operations, now connecting Mukono to Kampala with a stopover in Namanve.

This development follows the successful renovation of the rail line linking Mukono Municipality to Kampala, which began in April last year.

The renovation included replacing steel sleepers with concrete ones to enhance the line’s durability.

According to the schedule released by the Uganda Railway Corporation (URC), the Mukono-Kampala route features two morning departures from Mukono and two evening departures from Kampala.

Fares for the route range between Shs 2,000 and Shs 3,000. The URC noted that the service will improve further as more coaches and locomotives are acquired.

Two trains will operate: one serving the extended Mukono-Kampala route and another covering the Namanve-Kampala route.

Currently, each train trip can accommodate between 600 and 750 passengers, offering a total capacity of 1,200 to 1,500 passengers per trip with both trains in operation.
