The service will be directly managed and operated by the Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company (Haraco).
The People's Committees of Thua Thien - Hue province and Da Nang city will support the VNR and Haraco by implementing policies related to transportation connectivity, ensuring security and order, and tourism services.
According to the VNR, the Hue – Da Nang section includes 12 stations with a length of 102 km, with three located on steep mountain passes.
Each train consists of seven carriages, including one community carriage where passengers can enjoy and experience artistic, culinary, and shopping activities.
Travel time from Hue to Da Nang by train takes from 3.5 hours to four hours. However, the trains can run into the centre of the two cities, making it convenient for passengers, especially tourists.
According to Deputy General Director of VNR Tran Anh Tuan, authorities of Thua Thien- Hue have collaborated with tour organisers to promote the heritage train route on social media platforms.
Vice Chairman of the Thua Thien – Hue provincial People’s Committee Hoang Hai Minh said he hopes the daily trains will not only serve tourists but also connect the heritage lands of the central region./.
