Nairobi railway station is a railway station located in Nairobi, Kenya.[2] The station is on the metre gauge Uganda Railway, and previously provided services to Mombasa three times per week.[3] However, in 2017, the new Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway took over services to Mombasa, starting from a new Nairobi Terminus in Syokimau, 20km from Nairobi CBD.[4]
