kenyanbackpacker

Well, It is possible if you are going to Miritini station!

The thing is, the morning train arrives at Mombasa around 13:55 and the other one* leaves Mombasa for Nairobi at 15:15 so you have a window of 1 hr 20 min to get off the train, go wherever you want, check back in, and you if you are successful, you will happily arrive in Nairobi at 20:15. This, of course, depends on whether you have a return ticket already. Do your calculations!

to book the tickets, go to metickets.krc.co.ke

Hello Maryanne, In the MPESA message that you received there is an account number, right? You will use that number together with the phone number you used to book to print tickets at the station ot=n travel day.

Make sure you arrive early. You can also print the tickets a few days before travel.

All the best!

Hello Julie, Thank you for your comment. There are two trains running daily between Nairobi and Mombasa as I have written in this post.
1. Intercounty train ( Leaves either station at 8:00 am and stops at the intermediate stations listed above)
2. SGR Madaraka Express Train ( Leaves either station at 3:30 pm and arrives at the other station around 8:15 pm)
I hope that helps.
