The people need to know that there is no connection of the train to Makkah. The train starts from Mina and goes to Arafat. The train stations are not at central locations rater at considerable walks. Very hard to believe the 15 minute train run in the rush of Hajj. It will take longer and with the rush of pilgrims there will be severe delays on stations. In Hajj times the schedule will be impossible to follow.

May Allah Guide us.

Great achievement. Hope the Saudis maintain the system, and not allow it to deteriortae like they do to so much of their infrastructure. Also dont forget that The Muslim umma contributed a substantial amount to this project.
