Lagos Terminus, also known as Lagos Iddo, is the main railway station of the city of Lagos. The rail terminus is located on Iddo Island, nearby Lagos Island and in the middle of the city. The station, located in front of Carter Bridge and by the Lagos Lagoon, has a large two floor terminal building.It counts also a pair of train sheds: one located just outside the station platforms and a larger one located 2 km north, nearby Lagos Yaba station. The opening of the Lagos Steam Tramway took place on May 23, 1902 and it was operated by the Lagos Government Railway. The original line ran north-west along the waterfront, from a point near Government House and the European residential area around the Race course, to Customs Wharf, where it turned north-east towards Ereko market and Idumota. A 95 ft-radius curve took the line north-westwards again, through Ebute Ero and over Carter bridge to the railway station at Iddo. The line serving Lagos Terminus, as well as the entire national network, is not electrified; and the track gauge is narrow (1,067 mm). Lagos station is the terminus of commuter and long distance trains, as for example the flagship express train to Kano, in north of Nigeria and 1,126 km far from Lagos. A standard gauge high-speed line, connecting Lagos to Abuja, has been planned in early 2010s, as part of the development plan of the Nigerian railways. Lagos Terminus will be served by two lines (red and blue) of the future Lagos Metro, under construction, at Iddo metro station.

I took a walk down to this train station around oyingbo for the first time, it is a big and massive train station with standard structure, the environment is clean, but some part of the train station is still under construction.

Venue for the 2017 SLAY FESTIVAL, a huge number of us didn't even know the place existed before then. There's loads of untapped tourism potential here! And the old buildings? Beautiful landscape? A photographer's dream.

The worst transport. Without air conditioning inside was above 40 degrees. Outside 37*. Everyone were dying 2hr to Faro.

Relics of historical civilization. From the outside, it looks as though nothing happens on the inside
