All aboard! Sderot train service to restart

After a month of no service, Israel Railways says it will restore train service between the Gaza periphery towns of Sderot and Ashkelon, relinking the region with the rest of the country’s train network.

The first train is expected to leave Sderot at 12:23, according to the Israel Railways website.

Ynet news reports that Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz has ordered that southern residents get free rides on the train for the time being.
