ANSWERS
Since we didn't want you getting confused even before getting to the station or asking several friends who don't even know the rail line is operational already, Your
darling “HELLOKUBWA” faithfully decided to find out from the
people involved with the day to day running of the train. Here is what we found out.
LOCATION
The Kubwa train station or terminal is located near the Liberty Junction or Opposite former Daughters of Charity bus stop in Kubwa. You can take a bike from anywhere in or around Kubwa to the station or drive there. If you miss your way, be wise enough to ask any agreeable looking passer-by or Okda rider, it is not hard to Locate.

You don’t
pay much for 1st class. You pay 900 Naira only. Your child will also
enjoy a first class experience for half the price. You pay 900 for adult. 450
for children. 2nd Class goes for 600 Naira for adults and 300 Naira
for children. Book early. You can’t book online for now. You can only book the
same day.
ON LUGGAGE:
At the moment, you can't ferry 800 baskets or less of tomatoes, onions or potatoes on the train. You are only allowed a moderate travelling bag(s) or luggage. The couches don't accommodate heavy duty or plenty loads for now, but maybe in the nearest future they will.
ON SECURITY
So far so cool, the railway has got no security breaches so far, security personael can be spotted at the terminals and so areas not so far away but then, let's not forget to add that Oluwa is involved so no shaking.
