Getting There By Rail
There are currently no international train services to Libya. Libyan Railways (website: www.libyanrailways.com) are undertaking an ambitious project that should bring 3,170km (1,969 miles) of railway track to Libya: a coastal line travelling from Emsaid to Ras Ajdir (2,178km) (1,353 miles) and a southern line connecting Elhesha to Brak and Sebha (992km) (616 miles). The provisional date for completion is the end of 2006. If works run to schedule, the Tripoli to Ras Ajdir section of track should be fully operation by the end of 2004, with the Tripoli to Musrata section (200km) (124 miles) due to open at the end of 2005.
