The National Office of Railways (ONCF), starting today, Sunday, November 15, 2026, has begun implementing exceptional arrangements for several Atlas trains connecting Tangier and Asilah, due to renovation works at the Dalia station, as part of a program to modernize rail infrastructure and improve train operating conditions in the northern region of the Kingdom.
The adjustments affect five trains numbered 351, 301, 353, 303, and 180. It has been decided that their routes will be limited, during Sunday, to Asilah station instead of continuing to Tangier-Ville station, with an alternative bus service organized to ensure passenger travel between the two cities in both directions.
The Office explained that these arrangements aim to ensure the continuity of transport services and reduce disruptions caused by the works, by aligning bus schedules with train arrivals and departures, allowing passengers to complete their journeys without needing to seek additional means of transport.
The announced adjustments extend from midnight on Sunday, November 15, until the end of Tuesday, November 17, and also include changes to the schedules of some trains departing from or heading to Tangier, without implying a total suspension of rail traffic in the region.
These works are part of efforts to develop rail network equipment and enhance operational efficiency, in light of the growing passenger traffic between Tangier and other Moroccan cities, and the requirements imposed by maintenance, safety, and service quality improvements.
The National Office of Railways has invited passengers to check the adjusted schedules in advance through its official channels and to arrive at stations with sufficient time, especially for journeys requiring a transfer from the train to alternative buses.
Train traffic is expected to return to its regular schedule starting Wednesday, November 18, after the completion of the scheduled works, unless additional arrangements are issued.
