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.

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.
ONLINE TICKET BOOKING:
The booking system is not yet online and you can't really do booking for days ahead yet. But these are being worked on and could be possible in the nearest future. We will keep you posted.The couches don't accommodate heavy duty or plenty loads for now, but maybe in the nearest future they will. Trust us to keep you posted.
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.
Don't forget to take a lot of selfies on the road. Enjoy your trip!!
