The National Railway Office (ONCF) has just launched the preliminary design studies for the implementation of the new high-speed rail line between Marrakech and Agadir.
Morocco is preparing to give new impetus to its rail network by launching a call for tenders for the TGV link between Marrakech and Agadir . The Purchasing Directorate of ONCF has initiated the steps for the realization of the preliminary design studies necessary for this link, including infrastructure, civil engineering, railway equipment, railway operation and the railway operating system.
Morocco has the ambition to extend its HSR (High Speed Rail) network to 800 km. The realization of this wish will require the tidy sum of 100 billion dirhams.
The high-speed line (LGV) leading to Marrakech is not yet operational, but a TGV has been seen at the station in the ochre city. For what reason?
Inaugurated in 2018, the Moroccan high-speed train Al Boraq , is blowing out its fourth candle this Tuesday, November 15. With 10 million passengers transported since its commissioning, the high-speed train is showing remarkable success.
The National Railway Office of Morocco (ONCF) has provided clarifications regarding the award of the project management assistance for the external control of the LGV Kenitra-Marrakech line, approximately 450 km long, to the French company Egis.
Since yesterday, Saturday, January 1st, the Moroccan high-speed train, Al Boraq , is gradually switching to green energy. The aim is to replace the electrical consumption of the national rail network with clean energy.
From Monday, July 27, 2020, the National Railway Office (ONCF) will formalize its special transportation plan designed to support passenger travel during the Eid Al Adha period and the summer holidays.
Two days after the authorities’ restriction on train traffic to and from Tangier, previously decreed on Monday, July 13, 2020, the National Railway Office (ONCF) announced the resumption of its trains to the city of northern Morocco as of this Wednesday July.
Preventive measures have been taken by the public authorities of Tangier following the discovery of new outbreaks in the city. In this regard, the National Railway Office (ONCF) has decided to suspend its train connections to and from the city, since Monday, July 13, 2020.
For the gradual resumption of high-speed train (TGV), "Al Boraq", the National Railway Office (ONCF) has published its plan relating to health and safety measures.
After several months of shutdown or very limited operation, trains and the high-speed line (TGV) will resume service. However, travelers will have to observe draconian measures.
