Ahead of the scheduled resumption of passenger services on the Abuja–Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) on Wednesday, 1 October, 2025, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has informed the general public and passengers that the online ticketing platform is now open for payment, reports thegazellenews.com
Passengers are therefore encouraged to book their tickets online via https://nrc.tps.ng or visit any of the designated stations to purchase their tickets.
In preparation for the resumption of services, the NRC stated that the journey time has been reduced following a review of the Temporary Speed Restriction (TSR) to enhance operations.
The new schedule is as follows:

“The NRC appreciates the patience and understanding of its esteemed passengers during the suspension period and assures the public that safety, comfort, and customer satisfaction remain our top priorities,” the NRC said in a statement signed by its Chief Public Relations Officer, Callistus Onyimadu.
