Conclusion

Over time I have had a very frequently asked question about SGR booking using Mpesa or USSD *639#. Many passengers after paying for the tickets, they don’t get a confirmation message from Kenya Railways. All they get is a Mpesa message.

Question asked: I have paid for SGR tickets and I haven’t received the confirmation message. What do I do?

Answer: In the Mpesa message that you get there is an account number from SGR, you will use this account number together with the phone number you used to book with to print the tickets at the departure train station. Arrive at the station about one and a half hours in advance.
