Significant Changes to Train Schedules and Routes
As of today, September 14, 2026, travelers are advised to carefully check their train schedules before heading to the station, as the travel map has entered a new phase. This change is a direct result of ongoing works to extend the high-speed train line between Kenitra and Marrakech, which has necessitated adjustments to the timetables, routes, and availability of certain services. The National Office of Railways has announced that these modifications are aimed at aligning train operations with the requirements of ongoing construction while ensuring the continuity of services and minimizing the impact of these works on passengers.
The new transport plan includes alterations to some lines and schedules, as well as a reduction in the routes of several trains, with a gradual closure of stations, notably the colleges and the Naseem stations. This adjustment follows the commencement of the first phase of the high-speed train project from Kenitra to Marrakech on September 15, 2025, and marks a transition into a new stage that requires the reorganization of train movements in accordance with the progress of construction and safety conditions within the affected railway corridors.
The office has assured that it will implement an information and monitoring system within the stations and on the trains, as well as through its digital channels, to provide passengers with updated information, helping them plan their journeys and avoid potential disruptions. Travelers are encouraged to verify their train schedules prior to departure, especially since the changes may vary based on the specific line, journey, and timing.
Updated information can be accessed through the commercial website "ONCF Voyages," the mobile application of the same name, or by contacting the customer relations center at 2255. Additionally, assistance is available via the smart assistant "M'ONCF" at 06.67.65.22.55. These temporary adjustments are part of a larger program aimed at modernizing and expanding the national railway network, which accompanies the establishment of the Kenitra-Marrakech high-speed line and the development of conventional lines, all with the goal of increasing network capacity and improving travel quality, while enhancing connectivity between cities.
Given the execution of the new plan, it is essential for passengers to check their travel times in advance to avoid being caught off guard by changes in schedule, route reductions, or service interruptions at stations affected by construction.
