- Israel Railways announces major service changes for November 6-7, 2026.
- Key train lines will operate in split segments around Tel Aviv and Herzliya.
- Some trains will terminate early and bypass stations including Tel Aviv University and Herzliya.
- Essential infrastructure and safety upgrade work is the reason for the disruptions.

Israel Railways will implement significant service changes in the Tel Aviv and Herzliya areas on Friday and Saturday, November 6-7, 2026. These disruptions are necessary to carry out vital safety and infrastructure upgrade work on the railway lines, including projects by external entities like the Electric Company.
The planned work aims to minimize future inconvenience to the public. Several key train lines will operate on a split schedule. The Modi'in Central-Nahariya line, including overnight trains from Thursday to Friday, will run in two segments: Modi'in Central to Tel Aviv Savidor Center, and Herzliya to Nahariya. Similarly, the Beer Sheva-Nahariya line will be split between Beer Sheva Center and Tel Aviv Savidor Center, and Herzliya to Nahariya.
The Ashkelon-Binyamina line will also be divided, operating from Ashkelon to Tel Aviv Savidor Center and from Herzliya to Binyamina. Additionally, trains on the Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon-Herzliya line will terminate and originate at Tel Aviv Savidor Center, bypassing Tel Aviv University and Herzliya stations. The Beit Shemesh-Netanya line will also terminate and originate at Tel Aviv Savidor Center, skipping Tel Aviv University, Herzliya, Beit Yehoshua, and Netanya stations.
Israel Railways has conducted similar infrastructure work in the past, notably in the Kfar Chabad area recently. To mitigate passenger inconvenience during this period, the company will provide free shuttle services. Normal train operations are scheduled to resume on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 4:00 AM. Passengers are advised to check the latest updates via the Israel Railways website, app, service hotline, or official WhatsApp channel. The company has apologized for the temporary disruption and thanked the public for their understanding.
