SAR plans to boost Eastern Train capacity to 6 million seats
Saudi Railways "SAR" aims to increase the capacity of the Eastern Line to approximately 6 million seats, following the addition of 20 new trains to the fleet, up from the current 11 trains. This is in response to the growing demand for transportation between Riyadh and the Eastern Province. The first batch of 10 new trains is scheduled to arrive in 2028, with service starting the following year, which will help raise the capacity from 3.8 million to around 6 million seats. The expansion also includes the purchase of 33 freight locomotives and 782 cars to support the freight network, enhance the connection between mines and ports, and continue regional connectivity projects. All of this aims to strengthen the transportation and logistics systems within the Kingdom.
