Kamel Al-Wazir: Fast Electric Train to Boost Daily Passengers
The article explains that the Egyptian Minister of Transport, Kamel El-Wazir, revealed a plan to establish a new network of high-speed electric trains in Egypt to replace the diesel-operated railway lines, which have become unable to accommodate the expansion. The network will include three main lines extending from Ain Sokhna through Cairo and Alexandria, reaching Marsa Matruh, with an aim to have them operational by July 2027. The project aims to increase passenger capacity to 4.5 million travelers daily by 2030, double freight transportation to approximately 13 million tons, and provide faster journeys ranging from two to 3.5 hours between Cairo and either Matruh or Ain Sokhna. Additionally, the project involves the deployment of high-speed electric trains reaching speeds of up to 250 km/h, incorporating various types of regional and express trains, all in support of sustainable development and environmentally friendly transport.
