Test runs have proved that there is no need to change the present track of Haramain high speed railway that links the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah via Jeddah.
“Not any of these tests have showed the need to change the track of Haramain rail,” a senior official of the Saudi Railway Organization said. The tests have not affected the schedule for operation of the railway. “These are essential technical measures followed globally. A number of technical and safety tests are required before launching the railway’s regular service,” he explained.
“There is no change in the schedule of the project as works are in progress simultaneously in its Makkah, Jeddah, Dhahban, Rabigh, Wadi Al-Fara and Madinah sectors,” he said.
“All stations are now ready and are provided with necessary services, infrastructure facilities and parking areas for passengers,” he added.
