The train, which will cover a distance of 357 kilometers, will consist of two first-class carriages and two second-class carriages, with a total capacity of up to 300 passengers per trip. Additionally, there will be a dining carriage and an extra carriage for luggage.

The company also mentioned that an initial daily service will be scheduled between the two countries, departing from Annaba and passing through Souk Ahras, El Tarf, Jendouba, and Beja, before reaching Tunis. The number of trips and seats will be gradually increased based on passenger demand.

The train service between the two countries had been suspended in 1995 for security reasons, and although it resumed in 2003, it was halted again due to "technical issues."
