Transport Minister Announces Passengerless High-Speed Train Pilot Starts Next October
The Minister of Transport, Engineer Kamal El-Wazir, confirmed that the high-speed electric train network, which has a total length of 2,250 kilometers, currently includes three main lines spanning 2,000 kilometers. These lines connect from Suez to Mersa Matruh, from October City to Abu Simbel, and from Qena to Sefaaj and Hurghada. The trial operation without passengers for the first line—from Suez to Mersa Matruh—is scheduled to begin in early October. This will be followed by the operation of the remaining lines and the official launch once technical and security procedures are completed. It is expected that once all three lines are operational, they will transport around 2.5 million passengers daily. By 2030, the total transportation capacity is projected to reach approximately 4 million passengers per day between the railways and high-speed trains.
