Did anyone see the Michael Palin documentary where he visited Nigeria? He actually went on one of the trains there.
One thing that makes it clear that Nigeria, with its heavily growing population, needs to improve its railway network - and this was shown on the programme - as that there's an awful lot of heavy lorries using the road network, much of which isn't paved, churning it up something rotten. Perhaps that new standard gauge line will take some lorries off there.
