- The schedule adds 140,000 daily seats on trains connecting Sharon to the airport and Jerusalem.
- The Jerusalem-Herzliya line will be extended to Hadera West, improving service to the airport.
- Some train routes will be shortened, and initial delays are expected.
- Travel time to Haifa from Hadera West will increase under the new schedule.
This significant enhancement aims to benefit travelers by providing direct connections, including during overnight hours. However, some other routes will be shortened. Frequency will also increase at the Hadera West, Netanya, and Beit Yehoshua stations. On the downside, travel time from Hadera West to Haifa will increase, and some trains will no longer stop in Netanya. Initial delays are anticipated as the new schedule is implemented.
