Accra-Tema railway service to resume next week — Minister
Passenger service on the Accra-Tema railway line will resume next week, the Minister of Railways Development, Mr Joe Ghartey, has hinted.
This follows the successful completion of a test run on the Accra-Tema rail line by the Ghana Railways Company Limited (GRCL).
Mr Ghartey told the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday that the GRCL had also successfully completed a test run of its locomotive from Accra to Nsawam, for which it was planning to restore full passenger service within the month of January.
He, however, pointed out that the passenger service would not resume on that line until the “integrity of the line had been improved.”
“The level of encroachment and sand winning near the Accra-Nsawam line is seriously threatening the integrity of the Achimota to Nsawam portion of the rail line and so we will not resume the passenger service until the integrity of the line has been improved,” he emphasised.
Vacate
The Railways Development Minister, therefore, asked the encroachers near the rail lines to vacate the area for the work to proceed.
“The GRCL has also successfully completed its test run of the Accra to Tema service. This year, 2019, will be a year of blessing for the railways sector. I firmly believe this and I ask you to join me in prayer so that the vision of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for a modern rail network throughout Ghana will be achieved,” Mr Ghartey added.
