Dubai, March 18 (TNS): Saudi Arabia is all set to launch the “Haramain Express” — a new train service that will carry nearly 60 million Hajj and Umrah pilgrims among other passengers a year — in 2018, an UAE based media group reported on Sunday.
The project worth billion and will launched later this year, said Minister of Transportation and Chairman of the Saudi Railway Organisation, Nabil Al Amoudi.

He said the new train service will be ready to serve the public this year after the relevant authorities would conduct the last check for safety and operational readiness, according to Gulf News.
The report did not mention a specific date of launch.
Electric impulsion will drive the trains to an effective speed of 300 kph that is more than Japan’s “bullet train” functioning with speed of 320kph.
The train is likely to shorten travel time to two hours between Makkah and Madinah instead of six hours by bus.
The network has also been organising regular trips in which officials of governmental, non-governmental and charitable bodies have participated.
The latest test was conducted on Friday, carrying senior officials on board from Madinah.
