Idu train terminal is a world class modern train terminal. They provide ticketing at arrival. The terminal has a good look with a lounge and restrooms. There is also the provision of security gadgets, personnel and equipment to ensure safety of passengers. Also the terminal has a quite number of staffs to facilitate passengers needs and services.

This is a well coordinated terminal. Trains load and disembark passengers here. It has great security and is very organised. Inside the terminal is air-conditioned and it has staff on site to help. It also has wheelchair ♿ accessibility. The exit doors are really large and the perimeter is secure.

Nice train station, very poor service because it is a little far from residential area, clean and fresh rest rooms, comfortable waiting areas, impressive customer service, fast elevators. Its an awesome place

The station building itself is okay but the location is not central. Hopefully when the whole project is fully functional there would be more accessible stops than IDU that connects the whole city.

Good attempt by NIGERIA, we surely need more coaches

The reason for my rating is as follows; for a place with potential, it is grossly under-utilised. 1) There are no shops inside where one can buy essentials; toothbrush, toothpaste, small cream Incase you forgot to pack them like some of us do. 2) There is no family bathroom or changing table for babies...one has to “expose” the young one because it has to be done in the waiting hall. 3) There was no tissue in the female toilet, only one tap was functioning, water all over the floor. I noticed 2 kettles which I’m guessing was there for use to clean up which in my opinion is unsanitary bearing in mind the infections that could be transmitted through this medium. 4) The male bathroom is so close to the female bathroom making privacy an issue. There’s a lot of space within the existing structure which can be converted to more toilets(what is on ground is inadequate considering the volume of commuters), changing station,smoke rooms, restaurants and shops. This would make things a tad better for travellers especially those with kids like myself.

Hub for Abuja-Kaduna, and surrounding commutters. Better option to road travel... Just need additional services for comfort of passengers. Location is remote and those with very large or heavy luggages may be comfortable moving around the terminal

Good train service, better than the road from Abuja to Kaduna while the insecurity lasts. First class is nice and roomy. Only downside is in getting tickets, get to the train station very early to get them.

Abuja Rail Mass Transit commonly known as Abuja Light Rail is aLight rail transport system inAbuja FCT. It is first rapid transit in the country and in Western Africa and second such system in sub-saharan Africa (after Addis Ababa light Rail). The first phase of the project connects the city center to Nnmadi , Azikiwe international Airport stopping at the standard gauge rail station in Idu. The Abuja Metro Line was launched on 12 July 2018 and opened for passengers the following week.

Image courtesy of Jkan997. The 186km-long Abuja-Kaduna rail he railway modernisation initiative in Nigeria aimed to replace the existing narrow gauge system with the wider standard gauge system, while allowing high-speed train operations on the railway network. The $8.3bn contract for the Lagos-Kano standard gauge modernisation project awarded to CCECC in 2006 next segment to undergo standard gauge renovations is the 312km-long Lagos-Ibadan rail line, which is a double-track standard gauge line scheduled for completion in 2016. A $1.53bn contract was awarded to CCECC in August 2012 to deliver the project within four years. The other standard gauge line projects in the pipeline include the Lagos-Benin City (300km), Benin-Abakiliki (500km), Benin Obudu Cattle Ranch (673km), Lagos-Abuja high-speed (615km), Zaria-Birnin Koni (520km), Ega nyi-Otukpo (533km) and Ega nyi-Abuja. Other projects scheduled are the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri line (1,657km), Ogoja-Maiduguri, Kano-Gamboru Ngala, Kano-Jibia, and Ilela-Minna rail lines. Public-private partnership (PPP) strategy is being explored to develop these standard-gauge lines. Details of Abuja-Kaduna Rail Line Abuja-Kaduna is a 186km line with standard gauge railway tracks from Idu, near Abuja, to Kaduna in the north-western region of Nigeria. It has nine stations and features both passenger and cargo trains. The passenger trains on the line can operate at a speed between 200km/h and 250km/h. The travel time between Abuja and Kaduna will be reduced to one hour and each passenger train can carry up to 5,000 commuters. The cargo trains, carrying 800t of goods, will take one and half hours to travel between the two cities. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) sanctioned N1.1bn ($6.6m) in October 2014, for the procurement of two locomotives for the Abuja- Kaduna standard-gauge rail lines. Financing for Abuja-Kaduna Rail Project The Abuja-Kaduna rail project is estimated to cost $874m.Chinas EXIM bank provided $500m as a concessionary loan for the project. The remainder was provided by Nigeria’s Federal Government. Construction of Abuja-Kaduna line The Abuja-Kaduna rail project was finalised in 2009. The contract for building the new line was awarded in December 2010.Tracking Light for the single standard gauge line was officially launched in July 2013. "The standard gauge line connects Nigeria’s federal capital Abuja with its commercial capital Kaduna." The rail line construction was 68% complete by July 2013 with the earthwork and hydraulic structures for the project 92% and 87% complete, respectively. Approximately 85% of the construction was finished by October 2014 and final works were concluded by early December.

While the train ride is a safer bet for those travelling to Kaduna, it is a bit more expensive than usual which defeits the purpose of the initial set up "to enable the masses, particularly grass root Nigerians". Ticket costs are 1500 and 1300 for first and other trips resectively under the economy trip while the business class options are 3000 and 2500 for first and other rides respectively. With this in mind we those that can afford this can take advantage of it. It is a safer bet than road travels.
