To change the details of your current train booking, you need to cancel your current booking and rebook using the new details. 

Follow these steps:

  1. Visit the nearest SGR terminal or call the SGR booking office on +254-709-388-888.
  2. Print your ticket if you had booked online.
  3. Check train availability.
  4. Book a new SGR ticket.
  5. Apply for cancellation of the current SGR ticket.
  6. Get a 70% refund on the old SGR ticket. Kindly note that you need to apply for the refund not later than 48 hours and 72 hours before travel for individuals and groups respectively.
  7. Pay for your new ticket.

An alternative way to change your SGR ticket details

If you have cash, this process is faster. Just present the ticketing agents with your old ticket and the new travel details. Once the new ticket details have been confirmed, you will be asked to pay the 30 % cancellation fee and then receive your new ticket.
