Use this map with care. It has several problems:

• Line to El Jadida is missing completely
• Nador is not the end point of the line to Beni Enzar...
• The shortcut from Tanger to Rabat is completed by now
• The line to Casa airport branches from the main line to Marrakech, and does not go there directly from Casablanca
• Rabat should be at the shore
• Kenitra should actually be Sidi Kacem...
• I'm not sure if the "high speed" parts are really correct; at least the extension to Agadir is missing.

Thanks, I'll try and improve the map. Do you happen to have references for the Tanger-Rabat shortcut and the extension to Agadir? Classical geographer (talk) 08:28, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

For the shortcut : http://www.oncf.ma/Fr/Actualites.aspx?id=170&ep=2&bHome=0 which says that it has been released in june 2010.

Kenitra is close to the shore (9 km from the center to the beach of Mehdia) so it can't be the dot you've named.

I'm pretty sure the high speed rail is not going through Sidi Kacem but further north (and should be close to the coast regarding the prospects signed in 2011).

For Beni Enzar instead of Nador  : http://www.oncf.ma/Fr/index.aspx?md=199&rb=396

For Tanger there is a problem : too much in the East (it should be in the west part of the first curve from the West). And due to that your missing a line from Tanger to Tanger Med (the new harbour further east). Opened since 2010 if I m not mistaken.

Marrakech is too much in the mountain while it should be really close to the Tensift river (8 km north of Marrakech).

The line from Casa to Settat (and then Marrakech) is really close to Airport ( and there is a small derivation from that line to the Terminal of the airport).

That should complete the info provided by Kabelleger.

But right now this map is really not a map to be used... Loreleil (talk) 21:42, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that's very detailed! Between the first comment and yours, I had already updated the map, as you can see; it now includes the airport link as a spur off the main railway, Kenitra/Sidi Kacem has been corrected, and the small extension past Nador is included. Note that this map is not to be used for actually driving around; it should give an impression of the network. Therefore the Tanger harbour stop is a bit too much detail for a map like this. The location of Marrakech however is an important point, and I'll corect it with the next update. Thanks again! Classical geographer (talk) 10:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Got it :) the strange behaviour of commons : it was missing a "regenerate" of the reduce pictures because it was still displaying the former map and I didn't see your update (neither on commons, neither on the place where I found first this map). I called the purge action and it "refreshed" the generated pictures. With your updated version we got a really better map. But I ll insist on the Tanger/Tanger med rails because it's currently one of the development study of the north-east part of maroc transportation (project in study and nearly approved : linking Tanger to Tetouan using partly the rails from tanger to tanger med).

Agadir

I reverted to the original version because there is no line between Marrakech and Agadir. It's not even planned for any foreseeable future. --Tachfin (talk) 16:27, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Self-reverted since there are more errors in the original --Tachfin (talk) 16:28, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

It's still listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_high-speed_rail_by_country#Morocco. Note that there is no current railway to Agadir on the map, just a blue line indicating one is planned. Classical geographer (talk) 09:26, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
