However, the agency said it will continue operating the city link train for Madaraka Express Passenger Service, which runs between Nairobi Central Railway Station and Nairobi Terminus, throughout the holiday season.
The Nanyuki Safari Train, Kisumu Safari Train and Suswa Leisure Train will also remain in operation.
Kenya Railways' new fares across its routes around the country are set to take effect on January 1, 2024.
