沙特铁道部最新消息，由于之前工期延误，Haramain高铁项目推迟一年开始运营，目前已进入关键建造阶段，该项目建成后将连通麦加和麦地那。

Saudi high-speed rail link on course for 2015 completion

Saudi Railways Organisation said the Haramain high-speed link connecting Makkah with Madinah is deep into its construction phase after earlier delays which saw the planned opening date slip by a year.

The line’s station in Madinah is now 52 percent complete, with the Makkah terminal and a stop in Jeddah about a third built and one serving King Abdullah Economic City almost 38 percent done, Wasmi al-Ferraj, director general of expansion projects at Saudi Railways, said at a news conference in Riyadh. A fifth station will serve Jeddah International airport.

The Haramain link, which is being constructed specifically for high-speed electric trains, will be 450km (280 miles) long and allow trains to reach at least 300kmph, linking Islam's two most popular pilgrimage destinations.

The line will cost almost $12bn and it is due to open by the end of December 2015, the executive said.
