Changes to train traffic this coming Friday: Everything you need to know
Israel Railways has announced that essential infrastructure work will be carried out in the Tel Baruch area this coming Friday, July 24, 2026. The work is defined as life-saving activity and is intended to improve travel safety and the infrastructure of the national rail network.
Following the work, significant changes will apply to the schedules and routes of various train lines. Some lines will operate in a split format, meaning passengers may be required to change trains during their journey to reach their final destination.
To assist passengers in reaching their destinations safely and without disruption, Israel Railways will operate a free shuttle bus service. This service will operate at points where train traffic is suspended or limited, allowing the public to continue their daily routine as much as possible.
The changes are also expected to affect passengers traveling to and from Jerusalem, so it is recommended that anyone planning a trip on Friday check the updated schedules on the Israel Railways website or the official app before heading out.
Railway management asks passengers to stay updated on the changes in advance and to be patient due to this important work. This is a necessary step to maintain public safety and improve service in the long term.
