A Trip to the Iddo Train Station

I made a trip to the Iddo Train Station with two intentions. First, I wanted to take a train to Abeokuta just to see what it was like. Secondly, I wanted to find out everything there was to know about using the Nigerian Railway service.

I’ve taken the train once (in Lagos) as part of a primary school excursion and I remember it not being so bad. It wasn’t excellent either. I was very curious to see what had changed since then, see the newer trains and probably take a ride in those. (Edit: I took another train in Abuja recently. This is the best service we have in Nigeria currently)

Getting to Iddo Train Station

I wasn’t sure if there was a parking lot, so I decided to make use of public transportation to get there. I took a bus from Lekki to CMS, then took a connecting bus headed towards CONSTAIN and dropped off at ‘NEPA’ bus stop, a stop on the bridge. To get to the station, I had to find my way off the bridge and then under it to the road across.

The station was still quite a distance away from that stop. I asked a rickshaw driver how to get there and he offered to give me a lift for free. I insisted on paying him but he absolutely refused to take any money from me.

When I got into the Lagos Terminus building, I wasn’t surprised to find an old, worn out and unimpressive interior, very much like its exterior. There were a few passengers within the building and even more hawkers and vendors despite the ‘No Hawking’ signs.

Iddo train stationI arrived at the station at about 9:00 am and for the first two and a half hours I was there, there was no staff in sight and the ticketing booth remained locked. After asking a few people around, I was told that the staff would resume as soon as it was time to board the trains. I’m not sure if there was a train before but the next train was scheduled for departure at 03:30 pm. There was no way I was waiting for that long!

Eventually, I found someone who informed me that the train to Abeokuta is available only on Tuesdays at 09:00 is and Fridays at noon.

Iddo+train+station+lagos+terminusWith nothing else left to do, I decided to head home. On my way out, a couple of ladies approached me to take a picture of them. They were bread vendors and at some point insisted that I took a photo of them with their wares.

iddo+train+stationIt was a fun ‘photoshoot’ and perhaps the highlight of the day!

In any case, I’ll be going back to the station to try out both the inner city and interstate trains. Hopefully, I’d have better luck in riding one and finding out more about the Nigerian Railway Corporation and her services.

Some Points to Note:

A small parking lot is available but I’m not sure of what it costs to park there. I tried to find out but I wasn’t given an exact fare. I also don’t know how long a car can be parked. One can only assume that cars are parked at the owner’s risk.

Have you used any train service in Nigeria before? What was your experience like?

  1. I think you visited this rail station on a good day. The station is usually congested. Especially on Public holidays.

    I journeyed by rail to Ibadan in September and it was overall an amazing experience. The only problem was the ‘African Time’ factor. The train was scheduled to leave by 11AM but we didn’t leave the station till past 3PM. Which made us arrive Ibadan at midnight.

    Although, I hear that they sometimes leave at the scheduled time.

    1. Wow, that’s supposed to be a 2hr journey at most! This African time is a big problem but it’s great to hear that you had a good time regardless.

  2. Last year I took a train ride (my first) from Port Harcourt to Aba. Also used the train for the return journey a few days later. I can’t remember now if I blogged about the experience.
    The station in Ph is a lil short of being described as dilapidated. The coach wasn’t one of the new ones but it wasn’t terrible. The ride was fair but with so much stops. The return trip was worse. And I decided I wouldn’t go on it again.
    In all, it was an experience.

    1. I’ve heard about that train route from Aba to PH (vice versa). My friend, Enefa (http://artsymoments.com/), has documented quite a bit about it. He makes you want to take the trip even if it’s just for the photos. Sometimes, I just wonder when, if at all, we’d ever get it right.

  3. I think I have same emotion reaction to this article as Dee and Unravelling Nigeria. It was damn to funny and sad at the same time. Please let me know when you intend to go again and I can tag along.

    1. Yeah, the shoot was so funny too. This was right around the time TY Bello discovered Olajumoke. Did they think I was her? I don’t know, lol

  4. LOOOL. I’m not sure why I found this funny and sad at the same time.

    No idea why certain trains will operate only during the weekdays.

    Wouldn’t it make sense for them to run on weekends too as that’s when people have time to explore?

    Sorry you took the trip and ended up not going to Abeokuta.

    I think those legacy people do something to Abeokuta though, maybe you should check them out.

    1. Thanks UN! It is quite funny and sad to be honest. I also don’t know why certain trains run on weekdays and not on weekends. I would love to ask the NRC but their website doesn’t work and they would not reply my emails.. haha. I’ll check Legacy out and probably sign up for a tour with them soon.

I love to hear from you, Leave a comment here!

One beautiful day in 2018 🌞 , I awoke with the sudden urge to explore 3 countries on a budget! It was my first cross-country road trip but I took that chance and it led me straight to my husband 💕

Funny how life works out sometimes!

A little dramatic? But yes, this was exactly what I needed.

I was experiencing burnout, at the same time, facing the possibility of being laid off from work... going through a deeply personal and emotionally draining phase and needed an out!

It was a short getaway but it was the just the reset that I needed! 🦋

In this Nairobi Weekender Series, I'll be sharing some of the best weekend trips you can take from Nairobi.

Think beach getaways, hiking, camping, safaris and more! All within a short distance from the city!

In this video, we're visiting Amboseli National Park. This weekend getaway is perfect for a long 3-day weekend. Staying at least two nights in the area will give you enough time to enjoy a safari and your accommodation.

I recommend booking a place with a view of a waterhole - with this, you might even be tempted to skip the drive in the park completely!

Let me know what other places you'd love to see and please share your best weekend or day trips from Nairobi in the comments! 💬

Once again, I've found myself back in K-drama heaven! 🥰 I had left K-drama for anti-MLM and true crime content on YouTube for a bit, but this drama (Our Unwritten Seoul)? It dragged me right back in!

It reminds me of the golden days when Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary Attorney Woo were airing at the same time! Those were weekends I eagerly looked forward to! 😂

In a season of my life that's felt a little uncertain, this drama is a small spark, something warm (and certain?) to look forward to every week(end).

If you're watching it too, let me know in the comment section. But no think pieces about what you don't like 😭 Let's all just enjoy this in peace and hope there's a very sweet and happy ending waiting for us in the next 2 weeks! 😂

And if you're not a kdrama fan, that's okay too! Maybe you'll enjoy this quick guide to Seoul and beyond! 🇰🇷🚀
