❓ Train Travel FAQs

How do I book a train ticket?

Tickets are sold at the station ticket office (best for first-time travellers) or via the operator's online portal. Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna trains both support online booking.

How early should I arrive at the station?

30 minutes before departure. Trains depart on time and there's a security check at the platform gate.

Which class should I book?

Standard is fine for daytime trips under 3 hours. Business gives you a wider seat and is worth it on longer trips. First Class is rare and not always available.
