By the end of this year, there will be trains in Saudi Arabia driven by women. About a month ago we informed you about a sign-up for the first time possibility for women to get a train driver job in Saudi Arabia. The process continued and now there are 30 women selected by Renfe to be trained to become the machinists for the Haramain high-speed trains that will connect the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Complete 1,200 long theoretical and practical training will start on March 13th.
The paid training will be given entirely by Renfe personnel. Once the theoretical classes are finished, the practical real driving training will begin on the high-speed trains that provide commercial service in Saudi Arabia from October 2018
