All train services to return to full operation starting Monday, Israel Railways says

Infrastructure damage and safety work in the areas of Ganot and Vitkin forced the railway system to suspend operations, Israel Railways announced last Tuesday.

All train lines will return to full operation on Monday, following nearly a week of closures, Israel Railways announced on Sunday.

As of Sunday, train services have resumed between southern Israel and Tel Aviv, and will reach the Tel Aviv HaHagana station.

Infrastructure damage and safety work in the areas of Ganot and Vitkin forced the railway system to suspend operations, Israel Railways announced last Tuesday.

Israel Railways 'seized opportunity' during main station disruptions

Disruptions were part of Israel Railways' decision to "seize the opportunity" and add essential safety work originally scheduled for September to the current, ongoing repairs of the infrastructure damage.

The repairs were carried out on the railways between the Haganah and Hashalom train stations in Tel Aviv.

Israel Railways said it would provide free shuttles to supplement transportation between Tel Aviv and the North, and between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, respectively. In addition, the light rail in Tel Aviv increased its activity in order to mitigate disruptions.
