When is the trial operation for Egypt’s high-speed electric train?

Egypt's high-speed electric train project is set to enter trial operations in October, according to Tarek Goweily, head of the National Authority for Tunnels. The trial will initially cover the section from Ain Sokhna to 6th of October City. The first major segment of the project, stretching from Ain Sokhna to Marsa Matrouh, is approximately 85–88% complete. Trial operations will gradually expand to other parts of the line after passing safety tests and receiving international certifications. Crew training, conducted by the German company managing the train since February, is expected to conclude by February or March. The project is anticipated to boost economic development, investment, and population growth along the route.
