I will want to share with you today my fun visit to a Train Termina Station away from where I reside. Am based in Lagos Nigeria, and resides in the Island area of Lekki province, a part of Lagos state in Nigeria that is so far from Ikeja province, the Capital of Lagos State as a whole. Ikeja province is located within the mainland of Lagos, Nigeria.

The story behind this travelling to visit the Train Terminal located in Ikeja, the Capital city of Lagos is one that is referred to as memories. When I was growing up and until my teenage age, I have always had fear of taking a trip with trains. The phobia for this made it so had for me because in high school pupils usually go for an excursion to get awareness about certain things or certain places which then usually were asked in some examination questions from the excussion visit.
This hindered me so much because then I don't involve in the excursion when it comes to going to the train terminal ride because of this phobia of mine.

Then were those days, and time certainly changes things. And as time passed by, most of the Train Terminals were abandoned by lack of maintenance as the government had more interest in Morden Bus Terminals which took over Lagos State roads making commuting very easy.

But then , the Train Terminal, Rails and stations were never out of site as old Trains keeping commuting people who lived far away from the urban to the rural areas, helping them with lower fare payments when compared to the Morden Bus charges.

The only thing that is constant is change as they said. So as time went by, the government decided to restructure the Train Rail Terminal Station, setting aside another new track for this restructuring. And as work continues over there for months now, the news has it that its going to be a Morden Transformation with Morden Train Terminal Services.
So I decided to take a trip to this new Rail Tracks Terminal from Lekki Province of Lagos Nigeria to Ikeja Province, the Capital city of Lagos Nigeria where this new Rail Track Terminal is situated and located, via Oshodi - Iyana Ikpaja Express Road in Lagos Nigeria.

It was really a fun day for me taking out time to visit this place. Believing too that the Morden Transformation for this Train Services will give me courage to ride in a Train because every thing in life is adventure. I will give you all update as time goes by on this Development.
