Eight months after its suspension by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) due to an attack by members of the Boko Haram group, the Abuja-Kaduna train has resumed activities.

With a very strong security presence at the train stations, passenger turnout is, however, low owing to the short notice period of its resumption.

Below are photos from the Idu Train Station which departed Abuja to Kaduna State by 9:45 am Monday:
