All the stations and train cars will follow precautionary measures to “guarantee the safety of passengers” and limit the spread of the virus, stressed Rayan Al-Harbi, deputy director of Haramain High Speed Railway and Holy Places.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has resumed ticket sales for its high speed rail link between Makkah and Madinah, a key transport artery for pilgrims performing Hajj and Umrah.
