Designed for a maximum speed of 350 km/h, the line connecting Kenitra to Marrakech will operate at 320 km/h, over a route of around 450 km. It is planned to connect Tangier directly to Marrakech without going through Casablanca in three hours, instead of more than seven hours at the moment. Two routes were recommended when the train arrived in Casablanca. It is also planned that the high-speed train line will go through another route at Benslimane (the stadium) to Nouaceur. This will accommodate the establishment of a new station or distribution centre. According to the director general of the National Railway Office (ONCF), Rabie Khlie, this new train line would be ready at the end of 2029, a few months before the start of the 2030 World Cup that Morocco will co-organize with Spain and Portugal.
