Number of Haramain railway trips between holy cities increases

MADINAH: Saudi Arabia Railways is committed to increasing the number of train journeys across its stations, the company’s corporate communications director, Hussam Al-Shehri, has confirmed.

The aim is to accommodate growing numbers of visitors and pilgrims, especially between Makkah and Madinah.

Al-Shehri said the company had implemented a comprehensive operational plan — the largest of its kind for the Haramain High-Speed Railway — to raise trip capacity and make traveling between the two holy cities easier, quicker and safer.
