Saudi Arabia’s Haramain high-speed rail will start commercial operations in September, according to news reports.

 

The Public Transport Authority launched the first trial run between Madinah and Makkah in December at a speed exceeding 300 kilometers per hour, Argaam previously reported.

 

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.
