The Egyptian Railway Authority has emphasized its dedication to implementing a comprehensive system for inspecting and maintaining its trains. This system involves rigorous technical procedures and regular reviews to ensure that all trains are in good working condition and that railway lines are safe for operation. The authority's primary goal is to provide a high level of safety and security for passengers. To achieve this, the authority conducts daily inspections and maintenance tasks.

The inspection process covers various aspects of train operations, including locomotives, carriages, and operating systems. Additionally, the authority reviews control systems and monitors train movements to ensure smooth operations. The railway lines are also checked regularly to confirm their suitability for train operations. These measures are crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring that trains run on schedule.

The authority's maintenance teams, comprising experienced engineers and technicians, perform these tasks according to specific operational requirements. The maintenance work includes checking engines, electrical systems, air conditioning, brakes, oils, and filters, among other critical components. By conducting regular maintenance, the authority aims to minimize the risk of mechanical failures and ensure that trains operate efficiently.

The Egyptian Railway Authority has also announced the schedules for several trains operating from Cairo to various destinations in the northern region, including Alexandria.
