As part of the extending the Sharon Railway westwards, in July 2018 the rail tracks were extended to the new Ra'anana South railway station from which the railway was extended in 2020 to the Coastal Railway. This connection provides a slightly shorter alternative route to Tel Aviv, via Herzelya, and also enables changing trains to trains reaching northern destinations (such as Netanya and Haifa) on the rail network.
