Train users, pay attention: the change that will affect thousands of passengers

Israel Railways announced a temporary reduction in train frequency during peak hours in central Israel, due to infrastructure and safety works in the Rishon LeZion area. The changes will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, October 28 and 29, 2026. The frequency of trains on the Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan-Herzliya line, which passes through the Sharon Ring stations, will drop to only two trains per hour instead of three to four, a decrease of up to 50%. The change is expected to affect passengers at the Sharon Ring, Bat Yam, Holon, and Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan stations. Meanwhile, some trains on the Be'er Sheva Central-Herzliya line will add stops at Holon and Bat Yam stations. Israel Railways defined the works as 'vital safety works that save lives' and apologized for the temporary inconvenience.
