17 february 2010 - Cairo, Midan Ismaillia. And a close-up of the coupling between the two cars. What is interesting is that despite a complete lack of chains or anything like that between the two cars we did not see anyone who fancied a free ride between the cars. This is probably down to two things - the completely horrible state of the tracks and the fact, that the trams run through a rather affluent part of the city, whose inhabitants don't feel the need to risk their lives to save 50 piastre (6p) for the ticket...

17 july 2010 - Cairo, Midan Ismaillia. A route 5 tram (El Matariya - Midan Ismaillia - the shortest in Cairo) has just arrived at the terminus. The new trackbed suggests a reactivation of the curve connecting the no. 5 on Omar Ibn El Khatab street with Osman Ibn Afan street where a route of the Heliopolis Metro runs. However, given the state and the perspectives of the Cairo network, this is a step towards the rationalisation of the network when further sections of it will be taken out of use.
