Amina Yahaya

Clean and squeaky environment. This should be a well preferred choice over vehicles where necessary. I think we are on to a good start with the railway station. I only hope we continue to maintain it!
A

Agbo

Very comfortable ride. Convinient and stress free. Very clean. Excellent service. They sell nice snacks especially meat pie. They sell rice and moi moi at the vip section. The AC works well. Very comfortable speed.

mubarak mukhtar

The train station is beautiful but I getting train ticket is always stressful here.
I

Ikechukwu Onwumelu

Beautiful structures, the ticketing system should be improved upon. Nice one
R

Robert Roland

Clean and fresh. Much room for improvement. Arrive early to beat the ticket queue. Tip: use the lift if you have kids & heavy luggage.
K

kabir kes

The timing is precise
I

Ishaka Usman Idris

A world class Railway station
I

Isa Sanni

Comfortable but a lot still need to be done. Like add more coaches or increase the number of times the go and return to Abuja and Kaduna. Good development though.
P

Philip Ehizojie Eigbe

Idu Railway provide alternative travel means to Kaduna. It takes 2 hours by rail and saves you the insecurity and bad roads problem.
P

Patrick Bako

Structures are good and new, no coordination in terms of selling tickets, no enough seat for passengers while waiting to board. The authority needs to do better.
T

Toyese OYEGOKE

Nice
N

Nkechi Egbon

Always on time...not a second delay
S

Sandie Syke

Really comfortable railway station, well built and well maintained. Separate ticketing area, clean waiting area, staff are well behaved. The trains themselves typically leave right on time and the trains are clean. Definitely recommend for a stress free travel
A

Abdul Shehu

Located outskirts of town, making it expensive and hard to get to. This is bad because train stations should run right through the heart of the city. Staff are for the most part polite and courteous. Ticketing staff are corrupt and hoard tickets for the highest bidders during rush hours of weekends. Departures are on schedule with no delays. Train coaches are neat. However, I observed that there are no dustbins attached to seat rows. VIP/First Class is worth the additional money, mostly because of the sitting arrangement with a table at the middle. Trains not as fast as one expects but not bad either. Toilets are clean.

The station is really beautiful, everything seems to be done in order. There is also an MVP restaurant located in the waiting area. Generally it was a good experience

T

Tina Wakawa

Its one of the effective n safe means of transportation in Nigeria
A

Ayesha Muhd

Quite good, needs a lot of improvements. The public should be able to buy train tickets online.
J

Jahswill Baba

Loved the experience
B

Bernard Mato

Kudos to our transport ministry for this. An alternative transportation means outside our usual road transport. The bookings are very easy and the environment is neat and safe... With enough security personnel. You can travel with heavy luggage just that it would be weighed and you would be billed accordingly. Please do endeavor to try train travelling on your next trip. Cheers
D

D.E. Uteron

Nice new station. Clean trains. Disappointingly no where near the centre of Abuja, approx 30mins drive from Abuja commercial centre. Train tickets where being sold, even though the ticket office was closed!! Need to arrive a few hours before the train leaves to buy tickets. Complete and utter mayhem occurred when the ticket office finally opened, only God knows how no one was injured during the mass struggle. Best to stand back until the struggle calms down. No organisation, lack of structure, standing only tickets being sold. We are making progress, but very very slowly!!

Really nice station. Be there at least 2hours before departure to secure a ticket
K

Kyeola Majam

Very cool. Like that you can get food, and chops while waiting. I only have issues with how far it is from town. Cost almost the same price as the Train ticket to get to the station.
N

Nasiru Idris

Parking is poor.
O

Okorie Clinton

One of the train stations in Nigeira. You can get a train from here to Kaduna. Interestingly you can get a direct train from Abuja airport down to this station and back. There is another terminal at Kubwa also
D

Duke

Beautiful place but difficult to get a ticket.
S

Shimi Williams

It actually looks like you are on plane. The place is beautiful. But it good if they had other train stops other than Rigasa at Kaduna.
F

Fore VIBES

The railway station structure is a beautiful and attractive structure but not on my list of where to board train considering the location of the station. The station should be for conveying goods from the Idu industrial zone to other part of the City and Neighboring states. There is 60 % chances you’d miss your train when using the Idu station
O

Ovidi Yaya

Tidy environment and prompt take off and arrival time.
Y

Yazid Lawal Ahmed

Better than Kubwa

There was not enough seats as people stood for a 3hours ride,tickets are not online as you can only purchase them at the station,no shuttle of the station to convey people to and fro the city as station is a distance from the city.

Idu Train Station is of course the best railway station in Nigeria built by Chinese company CCECC. It has all the facilities needed and very spacious. Trains departs on time and tickets are sold without stress.
O

Oluwatosin Jimoh

A little bit far from town but it help people move from Abuja to kaduna with less hassles. The trains are very nice and conducive. It was a lovely journey the last time I used it.
M

Mamman Ali Chiroma

Nice station, with a good space. Well organised walking floor.
M

Maxwell Musa

Too far away from town and no economic activities around.
O

Olufisayo Oluyide

Good alternative for road trip to Kaduna. Tickets get sold out 3 hours before departure, especially on weekends. There are not enough seats for passengers at the waiting area. No cooling unit there also. Better to bring your snack with you. Only meat pies and soft drinks are available on board.
M

MOHAMMED ABDULKADIR

The train station is beautiful need for improvement on the accessibility of tickets online.
B

A

Adewale Ajayi

Nice station with very good service. Train leaves punctually and the entire environment is jept very clean. Getting to the station may be the only negative as the intra Abuja service linking the station is not running yet. However, I enjoyed every bit of the service here starting from the ticketing to the boarding. And to top it, the train left punctually.

V

VIVIAN MADUEKEH

They will soon run down this business.You can only get tickets minutes to the time. Also no waiting area, you can easily get robbed. As usually anything run by the Government is prone to corruption. The hoard tickets only to sell at hiked prices.
U

Umar Ibrahim Gumel

One of the best train station in Nigeria. Its located in Abuja some few miles away from city. They have good service delivery and keep to the time. The most common challenges is elevators are shutting down for passengers usage. People are force to follow one very long stairs case for boarding and departure.
F

Faisal Adam

Would be better if they has POS services and better food options.
J

James Nor

I do enjoys the place all the time
M

Miriam Maiva

B

Bankole Joseph

This is probably the only thing in the country runs on time, everytime. Now it is becoming next to impossible to get train tickets to Kaduna. Due to the increase in criminal activities on the roads, everyone travels by train.
A

M

Poor service, slow, inconvenient, archaic methods of processing. So much room for improvement. To sum it up - inefficient.

A

Abdulkadir Alkali

New, clean and beautiful. It is missing functional shops and eateries for travelers and commuters for now. The metro rail connects to the town center and airport, although not always in sync with the trains departure and arrival times. The train cargo unit is very affordable at 7.50 Naira per kilogram between Abuja and Kaduna.
M

F

Flo Geo

I used the train from Abuja to Rigasa for the 1st time today. Got the Business class ticket for N1,500 seats are fine. Overhead TV screen is available and nice movies aired. The overhead storage though is too high for people not too tall. Also, bags may slip from hold if it is not properly placed as nothing secures bags and may cause injuries to passengers. Overall it was a smooth ride.
