It’s the news that’s on everyone’s lips right now…

A new Etihad Rail service between Dubai and Abu Dhabi will travel at 350 km/h.

Last week, Etihad Rail announced the launch of the service.

It will pass through six stations including Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Yas Island and Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi.

In Dubai it will connect through Al Maktoum International Airport and Al Jaddaf.

A completion date has not been announced, but the service will connect passengers in just 30minutes.

It is also expected to earn the UAE Dhs145billion in gross domestic product (GDP) over the next 50 years.

The announcement will come as welcome news to many commuters who rely on transport by car.

Despite a speed that will make it among the world’s fastest trains, promises to be a “calm and comfortable” ride.

There will be wifi on board along with food and beverages.
