There is no significant difference between 160 and 120 kph. High speed train starts at 300kph. So no difference between tz and ke trains.

Also kenyas diesel electric train is more reliable. The train has diesel generators that produce electricity that runs the train. So its basically an electric train that relies on an onboard diesel power station ensuring reliability instead of relying on the grid coz the grid may be down sometimes kama vile train ya tz ilikwama in the bush juzi after grid went down.
