The Egypt Trains data methodology follows one clear principle: the site is independent, and the source for timetable and fare data is Egyptian National Railways.
1. Data Collection
We collect train schedules, train numbers, station stops, and fare ranges from Egyptian National Railways data. We then reorganize it into searchable structures by train, station, and route between two stations.
2. Normalization
Station names are matched in Arabic and English. Each train is connected to its route, ordered stops, and available fares when fare data exists.
3. Verification
- Checking stop order within each trip.
- Checking arrival and departure times for unusual values.
- Checking fare ranges against train type and class.
- Comparing new updates with previous data to reduce mistakes.
4. Publication and Transparency
Public pages show data source and last-updated information when available. Structured data is used to clarify that pages are based on organized timetable data, with ENR identified as the official data source.
5. Operational Limits
Schedules and fares can change due to operational decisions or urgent conditions. Final travel and booking confirmation should always be made through ENR channels or the station.
