NewzThe Uganda Railways Corporation (URC) has announced plans to resume passenger rail service between Kampala and Jinja before the end of 2026. The initiative will introduce a weekend service along the eastern route, marking the first time regular passenger trains have operated on this corridor in over thirty years.
The project aims to restore rail connectivity across the Nile, re-establishing a transport link that has been inactive for more than three decades. This development is part of ongoing efforts by the national railway operator to revitalize passenger transit services within the country.
