Gulf states will see ‘passenger rail network in next decade’ – The National

The UAE’s Etihad Rail project is a crucial step in a long-term plan to create a regional network, a leading consultant involved with the transport project said.

Etihad Rail aims to link the country’s centres of trade, industry and population, and will provide passenger and freight services.

When complete, it will stretch about 1,200 kilometres across the UAE, with plans for it to eventually connect to other Gulf nations.
