As of Sunday, the new eastern railway line will begin operations from three new stations—Hadera-Mizrach, Shomron-Tayibe, and Tira-Kokhav Ya'ir—terminating at Rosh HaAyin. An N12 report by Dan Fisher also says weekend service hours will be extended for northern and southern residents.
Israel Railways will launch its new eastern line this Sunday, June 28, connecting Hadera and communities in Samaria (the West Bank) to the Tel Aviv metropolitan area via Rosh HaAyin. The initial phase opens three stations: Hadera-Mizrach, Shomron-Tayibe, and Tira-Kokhav Ya'ir, according to an N12 report by Dan Fisher. On the same day, weekend service hours will be extended on Fridays and Saturday nights for residents in northern and southern Israel, the report adds. The infrastructure is part of a broader project to expand rail access to areas that are currently underserved by public transport, providing a direct route to central Israel without requiring transfers through Tel Aviv's main stations.
