Qatar Rail postpones plans for underground rail line in West Bay

3 November 2011: Qatar Railways Company has postponed plans for a $3bn underground rail line after designs showed the project will run over-budget. The operator of the planned QR130bn rail network, in early September decided to rethink the design of the West Bay Automatic People Mover due to cost and the complexity of building an 11km, underground rail line through the heart of Doha's new financial district. All tenders on the West Bay project have been cancelled until Qatar Rail concludes a feasibility study into its options.
