Nairobi Railway Station is a railway station located in Nairobi, Kenya.〔http://www.jambonairobi.co.ke/services/public-transport/road-transport-nairobi-outskirts/nairobi-railway-station/〕 The station is on the Uganda Railway, and runs services to Mombasa three times per week. ==History== The station was built in 1899 and saw structural additions throughout the 20th century.〔 This was the site of the first stone building in Nairobi in 1904 which was a Catholic church. That church now meets at the Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Family.〔(Kenya: centenary celebrations at Nairobi's Basilica ), 2004, Independent Catholic News, Retrieved 28 October 2015〕 When the railway connection between Kenya and Tanzania closed in 2006, rail services ceased to operate between the two countries. A bus route, however, provides international transport between Nairobi and Arusha, and takes approximately 5 hours. In 2012, the Kenyan government opened a new metro rail service station to the suburnb of Syokimau. Syokimau will get several trains every day although there was criticism that a ticket would cost more than the average daily wage.〔(Traffic-clogged Nairobi opens commuter rail route ), 16 November 2012, CapitalFM, Retrieved 29 October 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nairobi Railway Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
