00:00Pretty amazing access and you've seen the progress first-hand.
00:06What's happening at the flagship line project?
00:09Well, it's been a hive of activity. There's about a 10,000-strong workforce there,
00:13just at the line itself and ground has been broken, excavation has started
00:18and what we can see there is a start of what's going to be Phase 1 of the 170-kilometre line.
00:24So Phase 1 is going to be 2.4 kilometres and yes, we're going to see that phase come into fruition by about 2034.
00:32It will have, as we've just heard, residential units, hotels
00:35and what they say will be the world's biggest football stadium.
00:38So it will open just in time for the FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia in 2034.
