Coastal Train Disruption on February 13: Free Shuttle Service

Planning to travel along Israel’s coastal route on Friday, February 13, 2026? Here’s what you need to know about temporary train changes that day.

The coastal railway line connecting Haifa to Tel Aviv will experience service disruptions on February 13th only, due to scheduled safety maintenance work. Don’t worry though – Israel Railways is providing free shuttle buses to keep you moving between these major destinations.

This affects one of Israel’s most popular train routes for visitors, connecting the northern port city of Haifa (gateway to attractions like the Bahai Gardens) with Tel Aviv’s beaches, markets, and nightlife. The disruption is just for this single day, so your travel plans for other dates won’t be affected.

If you’re staying in either city and planning day trips, consider adjusting your itinerary for February 13th or allow extra travel time for the shuttle service. The free replacement buses will run on the same route, though journey times may be slightly longer than the regular train service.

Keep an eye on Israel Railways’ website or ask your hotel concierge for the latest shuttle schedules and pickup points.
