By 2020, this would be the reality. As part of a bigger development plan for Clark and other cities outside Metro Manila, the DOTr is reviving the Philippine National Railways System with a line to the North. The Phase 1 of the PNR North project is a 38-km. segment spanning from Tutuban to Malolos, Bulacan. It will have 10 stations and is expected to service 340,000 people daily during its opening year. With this line, commuters from Tutuban will reach Malolos in as little as 35 minutes.
The contract for the construction supervision and tender assistance consultant for PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban-Malolos) was signed last 01 December 2017.
This paves the way for the start of construction of the Tutuban-Malolos segment. NSTren Consortium, the project’s construction supervision consultant, will supervise the construction which will start in December-January.
Phase 2, a 70-km stretch from Malolos, Bulacan to Clark, Pampanga with seven new stations, has been approved by NEDA. The project will make it possible to reach Clark International Airport from Metro Manila in as little as 55-mins.
