TAZARA: Adjustment to the passenger train running schedules!

In order to incorporate the newly acquired passenger coaches in the system and further streamline TAZARA's passenger train operations, the timetables for the through interstate passenger trains, known by the names Mukuba and Kilimanjaro, have been adjusted* with effect from 16 February 2016 as follows:
  • The Mukuba Passenger Train, which used to run as Express Train from New Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia every Tuesday and as Ordinary Train from Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania every Friday, will now be running as MUKUBA EXPRESS TRAIN departing from New Kapiri Mposhi every Tuesday and then departing from Dar Es Salaam every Friday. The change is that the Mukuba Express Train will run both ways as EXPRESS TRAIN and will follow the current Express Passenger Train running times.
    • Mukuba Express departs New Kapiri-Mposhi every Tuesday at 16:00
    • Mukuba Express departs Dar es Salaam every Friday at 15:50
  • The Kilimanjaro Passenger Train, which used to run as Express Train from Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania every Tuesday and as Ordinary Train from New Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia every Friday, will now be running as KILIMANJARO ORDINARY TRAIN departing from Dar Es Salaam every Tuesday and then departing from New Kapiri Mposhi every Friday. The change is that the Kilimanjaro Ordinary Train will run both ways as ORDINARY TRAIN and will follow the current Ordinary Passenger Train running times.
    • Kilimanjaro Ordinary departs Dar es Salaam every Tuesday at 13:50
    • Kilimanjaro Ordinary departs New Kapiri-Mposhi every Friday at 14:00
*This new interstate passenger train schedule supersedes all other schedules.
