The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced special Easter train service arrangements across its corridors to accommodate increased passenger movement during the holiday period. The Chief Public Relations Officer, NRC, Mr Callistus Unyimadu, said this in a statement yesterday in Lagos.

According to Unyimade, as part of the Easter operations, the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service (LITS) will run three trips on Thursday, April 2, to meet the anticipated surge in passenger traffic.

“From the Lagos end (Mobolaji Johnson Station, Ebute Metta), departures are scheduled for 7.45 a.m., 1.40 p.m., and 4p.m., while from the Ibadan end (Obafemi Awolowo Station, Moniya), trains will depart at 8a.m., 10.50 a.m., and 4.30 p.m,” he said.

The official also said the corporation would operate a special train on the narrow gauge corridor under a partnership with the Osun State Government, which had paid for the service to enable passengers travel free of charge.
