Cameroon: Glitch causes 5 hour delay in newly inaugurated Express Train

Dozens of passengers left Douala for Yaoundé today onboard the recently inaugurated Express Train, but arrived by bus.

After an interruption at Eseka, the passengers that left Douala at 6 a.m had to continue the rest of their journey in buses made available by CAMRAIL.

Reports say the railway company blamed the incident on a cargo train incident that left the track blocked, making it impossible for the passenger train to pass.

The return trip to Yaounde was further pushed to 7 pm instead of the expected 2:30 pm, a 5 hour delay.

The first glitch in the transport mechanism comes just a week after the train service was inaugurated.
