- W843002889 abstract "The Middle East has had very little rail development until the recent surge of interest leading to all of the countries announcing light rail, metro and freight lines in the last 5 years. Dubai has now opened its new metro which is a modern driverless system and which is still being extended. Oman, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Kuwait also have announced rail schemes that are in various stages of development. There is a mixed railway route planned to link all of the Gulf States along the coastline. Saudi Arabia has some legacy from the railways built over 100 years ago. The Hejaz Railway was a 1050mm gauge railway originally built to transport pilgrims from the city of Damascus in Syria to the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia. It was completed in 1908 but was severely damaged during the First World War (1914-1918) by Lawrence of Arabia and the Arab Revolt. The existing network includes 2 lines running from Riyadh east to the Gulf. Saudi Arabia is currently building the new north South Railway and has placed contracts for the Mecca Medinah railway. This is a twin track, high speed railway that will connect the two holy cities to Jeddah. They will also manage the construction of the Gulf Railway as it passes along the Gulf coastline. There are 2 new universities in Riyadh that each has its own railway to move students between each campus and a Riyadh metro has also been announced." @default.
