The Governor of Riyadh Prince Faisal bin Bandar announced that passenger service on Riyadh – Al Majma’ah line (North-South railway) will be launched early next year. “We expect the train will officially operate within two to three months, at the beginning of 2017,” the Governor said.
The line is 1,250 km long and the train will start from Riyadh and pass through Al-Majma’ah, Qasim, Hail and Jouf to reach Al-Qurayyat. The train will have 12 cars with allocated places for the disabled in three places, along with three small praying areas which can be transformed into disabled areas if necessary.
