Ghana Train Schedule Today

Pay with Tap n' Go

Ghana's rail uses the contactless Tap n' Go card — the same card as road transport. Tap on the validator at the station; the system charges the correct fare. Buy or top up a card at the station.

No cash on board

Fares aren't collected on the train. Sort your Tap n' Go card at the station counter before you board.

Arrive early

Services are limited (often two a day) and depart on time — the train doesn't wait. Get to the platform at least 10 minutes before departure.

No Sunday service

Commuter lines run Monday–Saturday (the Kojokrom–Sekondi–Takoradi shuttle runs Monday–Friday). There is no Sunday service on any line.

Fares are official

Prices shown are GRDA's official station fares — no middlemen, no markups. Confirm the current fare at the counter.

A Tema–Mpakadan passenger train struck livestock on the track on 30 July 2026; no passengers were hurt, but train DMU002 is undergoing repairs — some services may run with reduced capacity. Confirm departures at the station.

Passenger service on the 15 km Kojokrom–Sekondi–Takoradi commuter line resumed in April 2026 after rehabilitation.

The new 96.7 km standard-gauge Tema–Mpakadan line began commercial passenger service in October 2025, running between Tema Port and Mpakadan, near Akosombo.

A new standard-gauge railway from Nsawam through Kumasi to Paga has been announced as part of Ghana's national rail expansion.

Feasibility studies are underway for new Accra suburban rail toward Kasoa, Winneba and Madina — early-stage, not yet operational.

Schedules and fares shown are indicative and compiled from public announcements — always confirm current times and prices at the station.
