Real figures from our data.

Timetable and live status

The timetable shows when a train is scheduled to leave and arrive. Its live position and delay in the app come from passengers on board, and when nobody shares, we say the time shown is the timetable time.

What we show and what we hold back

We show information when it comes from its source or has been verified; a station phone number, for example, appears only once verified. A stopped train is marked «not running now» instead of being removed.

Questions about our data

Are EgyptTrains times official?

The times and fares come from the official ENR timetable and are checked continuously, but EgyptTrains is not the ENR website.

How often are times updated?

Daily: we review times and fares continuously, with 1,417 checks in the last 30 days.

Why is the time at the station different?

The timetable shows the planned time and a train can run late on a given day. Real delays show in the app from passengers, and if ENR changes the time itself, we fix it as soon as it is official.

Where does the live position come from?

From passengers on board sharing it through the app. When nobody shares, we show the timetable time and say so.

Where do sleeper fares come from?

From Abela Egypt, the company that runs the sleeping trains; booking is only with them.
