Changes in Train Service

August 24, 2025

Dear riders, please note:

Due to damage to the railway power infrastructure in the Ganot and Vitkin areas, there will be changes in train service.

❗Israel Railways is operating free alternative shuttles on the closed sections.

Additional information about the alternative shuttles is available in the Trip Plan and Lines tab in the Moovit app 📱🔍.

Reinforced Israel Railways teams are working around the clock, 24/7, to repair the damage. The repair work is expected to take several days.


Train service starting Sunday 24.8.5:

Starting tomorrow, Sunday, 24.8.25, while accelerating the work schedule:

  • Northbound trains will operate up to Tel Aviv HaHagana station.
  • Trains on the Bet Shemesh–Netanya line will terminate at Lod station.
  • The Kfar Chabad and Lod Ganne Aviv stations will reopen.

Starting Monday, 25.8.25, train service will resume full operation, with some delays due to the addition of intermediate stops:

  • Tel Aviv HaShalom station will reopen, and train traffic in Tel Aviv and throughout the country will resume regular operation.
  • The Ashkelon–Binyamina line will temporarily terminate at Herzliya station (instead of Binyamina). Passengers on this line traveling north of Herzliya will need to transfer trains there to continue to their destination.
  • Travel between the Karmi’el–Be’er Sheva line stations will be possible by changing trains. Direct trains are expected to resume on 1.9.25.

On this day, minor timetable delays are possible due to the addition of extra intermediate stops on some trains.

By 1.9.25, train services will resume full operation.

  • 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.
  • Free Shuttle Services – August 20–25, 2025:
    • Tel Aviv – Savidor Center – Ben Gurion Airport
    • Ben Gurion Airport – Tel Aviv – Savidor Center

It is recommended to plan your trip in advance 🚥. *There might be unexpected changes.*
