The Importance of the High-Speed Electric Train Network :-
• The high-speed train represents a new means of mass transport that is faster and more comfortable, as its design allows it to operate at speeds of up to 250 km/h. It is considered a tremendous civilizational leap in the field of rail transport, particularly electric traction, and in the transport sector in general.• It will create a new logistics hub to connect the Red and Mediterranean Seas, significantly contributing to linking industrial production areas such as 'Sokhna – 6 October – Borg El Arab – Aswan' with export ports like 'Sokhna – Alexandria'.• Connecting new agricultural production areas (New Delta – Toshka – West Minya) with consumption areas in the northern and southern regions and export ports.• Linking tourist areas and creating a variety of tourism programs where tourists can enjoy the specific nature of the Red Sea beaches along with the possibility of wandering among archaeological, historical, and religious sites in one tourism program.• It also achieves integration between airports (Administrative Capital - Helwan - Sphinx - Alexandria - Alamein - Marsa Matrouh - Assiut - Sohag - Luxor - Aswan - Abu Simbel - Hurghada) and ports and roads, serving as a clear example of multi-modal transport.• It achieves connectivity between marine ports (Sokhna – Alexandria).

A new era for railways within the Arab Republic of Egypt, where the network of high-speed rail lines in Egypt will connect 60 cities.

The route of the first line of the rapid electric train network
It extends approximately 660 km with 21 stations (8 regional train stations - 13 high-speed train stations) starting from Al Sokhna station on the Red Sea coast, passing through the new administrative capital, Alexandria, and Alamein, and ending at Matrouh station on the Mediterranean coast, thus achieving a land connection between the two seas (a new Suez Canal on tracks).
The implementation of an extension of the line from the Sokhna station to the city of Suez, passing through the new city of Suez, is currently being studied over a length of 59 km to serve the population density.
-
Operating speed
The high-speed train travels at a speed of 230 kilometers/hour, the regional train at 160 kilometers/hour, and the freight train at 120 kilometers/hour.
-
Exchange stations
Passengers interchange with the light rail train at the central capital station, with the second line of the rapid train network at the October Gardens station, with the West Nile monorail at the 6th of October station, and with the Cairo-Aswan railway line at the Giza station, and in the future with the extension of the sixth metro line at the Mohamed Nabih station.
-
Capacity
It is planned for this line to transport 1 million passengers daily, 8.5 thousand tons of goods daily.
-
The executing companies
The civil works are carried out by major Egyptian contracting companies, including systems works (signals - communications - electromechanical works - etc.) and the manufacturing and supply of movable units of all types by 'Siemens Germany.' The electromechanical works within the stations are done by a consortium of companies (Orascom Construction - Arab Contractors - Elsewedy Electric).
