Passenger rail services have resumed on the Kojokrom–Sekondi–Takoradi corridor in the Western Region, ending nearly two years of inactivity and restoring a key transport link for residents and businesses.
The 15-kilometre route officially reopened on Friday, April 24, 2026, bringing back train movement to the Sekondi-Takoradi enclave and offering commuters an alternative and more affordable means of travel.
The relaunch was led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Railway Development Authority, Dr Frederick Appoh, alongside the Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, and other government officials. It follows rehabilitation works undertaken under the government’s broader transport reset agenda.
Dr Appoh explained that the restored service is expected to improve mobility, support local commerce, and strengthen economic activity along the rail corridor by reconnecting key communities.
For residents, traders, and daily commuters, the return of the train represents more than just a transport option—it signals renewed convenience, reduced travel pressure, and a revival of a long-dormant lifeline in the region.
