Egypt high-speed train trial starts October 2026

In early October, Egypt began pilot operations without passengers on a segment of the first line of the high-speed electric train network, extending from Sukhna to Mersa Matruh. This step aims to test technical and security readiness before the official passenger service commences, following the completion of all construction and operational works. This line is part of the state's plan to develop a sustainable mass transit system, which includes a network of high-speed electric trains spanning 2,250 kilometers. It is expected to carry around 2.5 million passengers daily by 2030, increasing the total to approximately 4 million users daily across rail and rapid electric transportation. The projects also involve expanding the railway network, updating signaling systems, and adding new lines, with a focus on connecting cities and providing modern services, all aimed at improving transportation means and reducing reliance on cars.
