February 1995 Train travel in Africa is unlike anywhere else. Locomotion, speed and reliability are variable in the extreme. When the Nairobi - Kampala rail link opened it was hailed as a breakthrough in Kenya-Uganda relations - it promised to open up central Africa as never before. The reality today is less grand. With frequent stops the train chugs its way past village traders towards the African interior. Sometimes it doesn't get there at all. On this occasion our reporter finishes his journey by road.
