Dear riders, please note:
Due to disruptions in train service caused by an electrification failure, and in order to minimize future service interruptions, Israel Railways will advance essential infrastructure works that were originally planned for September.
The works will take place from Wednesday, August 20, 2025, through Tuesday, August 26, 2025, during which significant changes will apply to train service:
Tel Aviv HaShalom Station will be temporarily closed. Lod Ganei Aviv and Kfar Chabad stations will remain closed.
Tel Aviv HaHagana Station will be closed to most lines, except for the Ashkelon–Herzliya line, which will terminate there from the south.
Trains from the south will start and end their journeys at Lod Station.
Trains from Jerusalem and Modi’in will terminate at Ben Gurion Airport Station. Travel from Tel Aviv or the north to Ben Gurion Airport will not be possible.
Trains from the north will terminate at Tel Aviv Savidor Center Station.
Trains from Hasharon Ring will terminate at Tel Aviv Savidor Center and Bnei Brak stations. Passengers from Hasharon Ring stations are advised to consider using the Light Rail from Kiryat Arye Station.
Passengers are encouraged to use alternative public transportation where possible.
Alternative transport services
A dedicated shuttle bus will operate free of charge between Tel Aviv HaHagana, Tel Aviv HaShalom, and Tel Aviv Savidor Center stations, every 5 minutes in both directions.
Resumption of service
Israel Railways teams are working intensively, around the clock, to restore service gradually starting Tuesday, August 26, 2025 — first from the south and later also from the north.
It is recommended to plan your trip in advance 🚥. *There might be unexpected changes.*
Moovit is updated with latest changes that are being published by the bus operators and the Ministry of Transportation.
Safe travels 🙂
