Kenyan here, it's a cool train. The management should however increase the height of the platform to be the same level as the door to make it easier for people moving in and out, especially the disabled

This is bringing back memories of travelling from Takoradi to Kumasi with my mother and brothers. We used to take the sleeper and we'd travel overnight. We'd be in kumasi by morning. That was when the train used to move from side to side. Scary but fun 😃😀

Brilliant video. Gradually Ghana will also get there. Thanks for showcasing a major infrastructural development in our beloved country. Soon we will have speed trains too just like Europe

You made me remember my first train ride. I was very excited I was 16 years old and by myself. I was returning home after spending the summer at my Grandfathers farm in Oklahoma going home to Virginia. I even changed trains at GRAND CENTRAL STATION in Chicago Ill. Part of the trip the train went very fast and the track was smooth. And one part was very ruff, so bad I thought we would derail even though the train was going about 30 mph.

Here in Japan the older trains usually runs on the country side, they maybe older but inside looks new and cleaner as the modern ones. Ghana too shall one day get there

In as much as Ghana has its fair share if problems but some times we should try to remain positive that we will develop, the other countries we say are better than Ghana also have their own issues. Most of our problems are made by ourselves

Thx for sharing. Enjoyed the ride with you.

LOVE THEM OLD TRAINS 🚆 😍, TIMES WAS MUCH MORE SIMPLER. 😇😇😇

Jasmine thanks for sharing. The commentary was on point. I am glad to see the Tema to Accra train line back in business. These trains are very old. Back in the west you find much newer trains including very high speed trains that would have done this journey in about 30 minutes. But Ghana has gone in the right direction with fixing the lines and sprucing the trains. I can’t wait to see the newer trains. Odorgorno is the name of a Senior High School in that neighborhood not the name of the neighborhood. Also the railway lines were there years before most of these neighborhoods got developed as they are now. Jasmine was all smiles when she mentioned Achimota Station, I think she was thinking about her old high school.

An hour and half ride from Tema to Accra central is not too bad. Driving on that Motorway can be a bit stressful with frustrating traffic. Thats why I always wakes up early whenever I'm going on a trip via that motorway. But traffic in Accra in general is atrocious. Not to mention the crazy driving. It always takes me at least a week to get acclimated to driving conditions out there. But this was a very nice adventurous ride.

That, they didnt know that Ghana ever had trains. I wonder if theyve ever been anywhere where u can even see the old train tracks, haha. Yes, we had trains that brought all the foods from villages, to Accra, kantamanto, very early in the morning, the do their supplying and sales, and leave before the sun came up! Kantamanto was our special market purposely for straight foods from farms from far away places, never this kantamanto of today, for second hand clothes, second hand clothes was by tema station next go makola, behind lotteries, nicely enclosed and not really a big business like today, because we didnt really care much for secondhand clothes.

Ooh, more than 20yrs kwraa! I grew up in the 70s and we used to take it to Tema with my mum, at the crack of dawn, to go and do her fishing harbour business. It's just the usual lack of maintenance habit of everything else, and that makes things so difficult for consumers and the public! I just wish that we will learn that, without maintenance, nothing will ever last long. Today's generation, are the ones sadly commenting

They also have to run the train at least 3 times daily .

After reading the comments underneath this post, I’m convinced that Ghana and Ghanians have a huge task ahead. Let me emphasize that when you see Nigerians complaining about their country, it’s not because they don’t have good Infrastructures or living fine to a modest level, all they want is more and to compete with developed countries. Have you seen the train stations and trains in Lagos, Nigeria or Abuja, Nigeria. The trains are very Modern and train stations are super magnificent, they all look like Airports inside and out, and this is what Ghanians want to settle for? You guys need to wake up and challenge your Government. You guys also need to travel more and get exposure! Damn, I’m disappointed!!!

You very stupid, don’t compare Nigeria to Ghana. Check the infrastructure index between the two countries, you would realize that Ghana is far ahead than Nigeria. Bro, you country is failed country!
