Israel Railways announces special Sukkot holiday train schedule.
Increased train frequency on Haifa-Tel Aviv line.
Some train routes will have extended service areas.
Night trains between Jerusalem and Herzliya will operate nightly.
Passengers urged to check schedules via website or app.

Israel Railways has announced significant schedule adjustments for the upcoming Sukkot holiday, which begins next Friday. To accommodate increased passenger traffic, the company will operate a special timetable featuring additional trains on the eves and nights of the holiday, as well as during the intermediate days (Chol HaMoed).

Passengers are advised to check travel times via the Israel Railways website, mobile app, or customer service hotline at *5770. The holiday schedule will largely mirror Friday and Saturday night timetables, with enhanced service on the Haifa-Tel Aviv line, offering two trains per hour instead of the usual one.

Additionally, the Hadera East-Rosh HaAyin North line will run one train per hour in each direction. During Chol HaMoed and the day after the holiday (Asuro Chag), some regular train routes will be extended. Specifically, train 8030 will now start in Be'er Sheva Center at 9:41 AM and end in Haifa's Hof HaCarmel station, instead of Tel Aviv Savidor Center. Similarly, train 8037 will commence its journey in Haifa's Hof HaCarmel station at 2:02 PM and conclude in Be'er Sheva Center.

Night train services between Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon and Herzliya will operate throughout the entire week during the holiday period.
