The Egyptian Railway Authority has announced the expected delays and disruptions for Saturday, citing ongoing comprehensive development works on all lines to enhance safety and services for passengers. These works include renewing and maintaining tracks, developing crossings and stations, and updating signaling systems. As a result, passengers on the Qalyub-Shibin Al-Qanater-Zagazig-Mansoura line can expect an average delay of 45 minutes.
The railway authority has apologized to passengers for these delays, attributing them to the ongoing projects aimed at improving the railway infrastructure. These projects are part of a broader effort to modernize and enhance the efficiency of Egypt's railway network. The authority has assured passengers that these temporary disruptions are necessary to ensure long-term improvements in service quality and safety.
