Еgypt's Ambitious Plan to Introduce High Speed Rail | 50 lik rakı fiyatı 2022 hakkında ayrıntılı bilgi

Its really refreshing to see an ambitious Egyptian megaproject that could actually greatly improve the country's prospects

Can you talk about italy???

Hey can u analyze Finland, Austria, and Sweden? They were all ranked very high on the 2017 Europe Railway index in fact all were ranked higher than the Netherlands. Love ur channel btw

Great topic

Finally

Seems awesome!

I'm a little confused by some of the route choices for HSR, and it seems to me the Egyptian government has launched into a status symbol megaproject without really doing a needs assessment.

HSR is really about passenger traffic, which is overwhelmingly what ENR does as it's bread and butter, but the HSR routes really aren't covering that. The Ain-Sockhna to Cairo line could be a good freight route, but would have pretty much zero passenger traffic for HSR. A much better move here would be to kill two birds with one stone and reconnect the original Cairo-Suez line (partially closed when the Cairo Metro opened) to the mainline network at Qalyub via a Cairo freight bypass line, then extending south from Suez to the new port at Sockhna. This would also allow conventional passenger rail service on this line to reach Ramses station again, rather than terminating/starting in the suburbs as they currently do.

A Cairo-Alex HSR segment makes perfect sense, through the alignment chosen which looks like it actually runs direct to Marsa Matruh, and actually sends Alex bound trains out of their way seems a little bit eccentric. The Marsa Matruh line again make no real sense as high speed rail, and the existing route sees very limited freight traffic so certainlly isn't saturated.Make this a purely Cairo-Alex dedicated pax HSR and it'll take vast numbers of cars and buses of the road. Actually getting the thing into central Cairo will be a total nightmare though. One option would be a new north-south tunnel that exclusively handles long distance and HSR trains, as this would have the double benefit of freeing up capacity on legacy routes and allow the introduction of a proper Cercanías style commuter rail system. Extending this south of the city, then running some surface level track to a temporary terminus at, say, Faiyum, would allow the Cairo station to be built as a set of comparatively simple sub-surface through platforms at Ramses, rather than having the engineering nightmare of building an entirely new HSR terminus right smack in the middle of the city. The existing ENR terminus at Faiyum is little used but has plenty of space.

The Nile Valley segment does make sense as this links a number of sizable destinations, many economically deprived with a trouble history, such as Faiyum itself, along with Minya and Asyut, though extending the line all the way to Abu Simbel seems rather redundant as there's virtually no population south of Aswan, so terminating as the Aswan ferry port for connecting services to Sudan would make sense. Though there is a rail link at Wadi Halfa in Sudan (the other end of the Lake Nasser ferries), the Wadi Halfa line has a break of gauge (Sudan uses narrow gauge) and is in extremely poor condition. Should the Sudanese line be refurbished then extending conventional rail south to it would make sense to allow for through shipment of freight and conventional passenger services.

The line to Safaga seems a bit strange again as HSR. There's already a well used and perfectly serviceable freight link, and passenger demand on this route is going to be pretty limited to hajj traffic for the ferry to/from Saudi Arabia. There is demand for tourism out of Hurghada, but Egypt has historically been extremely unwilling to let tourists roam freely in Egypt, especially on the trains, and most tourists are on organised day trips which are likely to stick to using operators buses, rather than paying to put them on a train, only to have a bus pick them up again at the other end anyway. That said, reintroducing conventional passenger rail to the existing Safaga line would make sense to connect with the ferries.

I really hope this will benefit Egypt and Egyptian people. They really deserve a better and brighter future. A better international network in Africa would be great as well, although planes are not really a competition on Africa, investing in general in better international rail would be great (doesn't have to be high speed rail).

Good to hear but high speed rail is defined as a minimum of 250 km/h, so it's not really a high speed rail.

Nice. But I'm curious about the high speed one, if it operated, how about the ticket fare?

I think it is important that Youtube creators like Railways Explained address ambitious projects, especially in emerging and developing countries. This shows that progress in the transformation of the world to a more sustainable and CO2-free economy and society is possible and thereby motivates other countries to develop further.

However, some aspects are hardly considered in such videos. These include the political and social dimensions of the project.
Since 2013, Egypt has been ruled by a military dictatorship that repeatedly violates human rights. At the same time, the country has received billions in loans from Western countries, yet the population has become poorer over the same period – a third of the population lives in poverty. To what extent can these people also benefit from the government's mega construction projects? Or do they all serve only the upper and middle classes, as well as members of the military regime?
As a viewer, I would be interested to know how the project is financed and to what extent the expectations for the economic impact of the project are realistic.

Too many build in averts. Do it next time again will force me to unsub.

Lets make Cape to Cairo HSR a reality! Africa deserves it!!!

So how much it will be done? I'm afraid it will be delayed and cut off.

HSR will get people into cities but what about moving inside the cities?
They should also invest into metro or other public transportation systems.

You should do Taiwan High Speed Rail Next

Moar! Egypt – levant – Turkey hsr!

the egyptian rail system is not the second oldest in the world. it´s not even among the top 30.

I like your videos, also you sound a lot like that channel with a muppet , I think he's called binkov :p

I also hope the entire African continent is fully rail connected for better transport and logistics..

Sustainable development in Egypt is a absolute joke!.

But Egyptians ambitions for high speed rail network is something i can believe yeah.
