Saudi Arabia’s Haramain high-speed rail will begin commercial operations on Oct. 11, said Rumaih Al-Rumaih, chairman of the Public Transport Authority (PTA).
The new high speed train, which will operate between Makkah and Madinah, will initially operate four times a week on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The operation plan, which was submitted by the Saudi–Spanish consortium (Al-Shoula Group), was approved by the PTA.
The 450-km long railway will link the Kingdom’s holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, passing through Jeddah and Rabigh. It will be able to transport 9,000 passengers per hour.
