Starting Friday, April 17, 26, Israel Railways will operate a new electric line and this is the news:
A modern electric train - faster, quieter, with more space for passengers
Direct and without change! From Be'er Sheva via Ofakim, Netivot and Sderot – straight to Ashkelon, Ashdod, the Coastal Plain, the Center and the Sharon
Significantly shorter travel times - electrification allows for faster acceleration and more efficient intermediate stops
4 trains per hour during peak hours from Beer Sheva to Tel Aviv
The Dimona-Beer Sheva line will also operate on Fridays and Saturdays.
