Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Railway Company (SAR) is set to commence operation of its northern region train on Monday 26 February after the company met all the requirements needed for the launch.
This step boosts the Kingdom’s ability to achieve a balanced development and matches the Saudi Vision 2030, through which it seeks to raise the rating of three Saudi cities to be among the best 100 cities in the world, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, citing Solaiman Ben Abdullah El-Hemdan, head of the Saudi Transport Authority, as saying.
Once the project begins operation, it will attract new trade and industrial investments outside the major cities, the minister, who doubles as the head of the Saudi Railways Organisation, added.
Earlier in February, SAR announced completing Waad Al-Shamal project and the first trial operation of the molten sulfur wagons project.
