Kinki Sharyo #1030

18 february 2010 - Cairo, El Nouzha. A Heliopolis Metro tram has just arrived at this terminus, whereas a route 32 car on the right is departing towards Midan Al-Sayyid Al-Mirghani. You can see the subtle differences between the exterior appearance of the "metro" and "city" cars.

18 february 2010 - Cairo, corner of Osman Ibn Afan and Abd El Aziz Fahmy streets. A three-car rusty old banger leaves the outskirts of Heliopolis on a nearly hour-long journey to central Cairo. The speeds achieved by these cars are - despite the terrible state of the tracks - not too bad at all, and thanks to segregated tracks the vehicles do not have to stand in the huge traffic jams. Sadly - the neglect and the state of disrepair of the vehicles means, that you sometimes need to stand a good 45 minutes at the stop before the next tram comes.

18 february 2010 - Cairo, outside Port Said depot. Cars 6068+6067 have just traversed the 2km-long service track between El Matariya and the depot, and are now at the depot gates. As a CTA worker met outside the depot said, the great Port Said depot (see satellite picture) only runs around 17 trams a day - which works out to 1-2 per route. And - sadly - the cars do tend appear at the stops in rather irregular intervals. Also, despite there being quite a few passengers riding in them, buses running on parallel routes appear far more crowded.

Kinki Sharyo Cairo #4088

18 february 2010 - Cairo, Port Said depot. As I had mentioned previously, Cairo still has two functioning tram depots. The Heliopolis depot runs the Heliopolis Metro lines, whereas the Port Said depot runs the remainder of the Heliopolis routes. Sadly, after long negotiations, we were refused entry to the depot. However - as in Helwan - the first available tramcar was rolled out for us.

18 february 2010 - Cairo, El Matariya. We began our last day in Cairo with bad news - the CTA denied us access to the tram depots, because we were tourists, not businessmen. Nevertheless we decided that it would be worth giving it a shot, so we set off for Port Said depot to see what we could get out of the guys at the gate. We started our trip at El Matariya.

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.

17 february 2010 - Cairo, King Hussain Bin Talal square. A group of strangely acting tourists takes pictures of a route 33 tram and of the pointsman at the junction, who resides in his little hut by the junction and takes his naps on a Tatra K5AR seat. That was probably the only trace of the tatras we could see in all of Cairo.

17 february 2010 - Cairo, Kulliet Al-Banat. The trams that run as the Heliopolis metro have a different paint scheme than the 'city' cars. They also have slightly different front designs, soft seats and a film with destinations written on it, rather than boards with route numbers. Due to our lack of language skills riding these was a bit of a lottery, although I think the routes are marked by colours. The tram in the picture is approaching a junction with the branch lines to El Nasr and Abbasiya, which were quite recently closed down due to the construction of the third metro line.

Kinki Sharyo #1012

17 february 2010 - Cairo, Midan Ramsis. We are now at Cairo's main public transport hub - we've got the central Ramses railway station, both metro lines and the terminus of the Empain-built tram line to Heliopolis. The route runs from here towards the north-east on a fully segregated alignment till Midan Roxy, where it joins the road network running in the middle of dual carriageways. Despite the tracks being absolutely catastrophic, the trams can still manage around 40km/h on a good day, and with a little good will and money this could be a great start of a Stadtbahn-type network. Even the natives refer to this line as metro. Sadly, according to our source at the CTA, upon the opening of the 'real' metro line 3, the Cairo trams are to disappear...

Hitachi / SEMAF #4283

16 february 2010 - Cairo, El Matariya. This terminus is the most important point on the tramway network, because here is where most of the routes end. This is also one end of a 2km long access track to Port Said depot, which the trams sometimes need to traverse against the traffic flow. This also used to be a border point between the city and Heliopolis trams - the Heliopolis trams ended here, whereas the city trams ended 100m away, on the other side of the square. Initially the two weren't even connected - the connection was built when both networks were united under the auspices of the CTA.

Hitachi / SEMAF #4261

16 february 2010 - Cairo, Midan Al-Sayyid Al-Mirghani. Cairo used to have two tram networks and a trolleybus network. The city centre network used to belong to the CTA, whereas the network in Heliopolis was managed by the company formed by Baron Empain. Somewhere along the way the CTA took over the entire network, but the differences in vehicle types are easily seen. This is probably one of the newest tram vehicles in Cairo - a result of the cooperation between Toshiba and Hitachi - as it rumbles past a square in Heliopolis.

16 february 2010 - Cairo, Midan Nady Al-Zubbat. After failed negotiations between Dave and a CTA representative about letting us into the depot, we asked our driver to deposit us in Heliopolis in order to take our first pictures of the capital's trams. And here a few words of explanation are in order: Heliopolis is a city founded by Edouard Louis Joseph, Baron Empain - a Belgian magnate, whom we would today call a developer. The good Baron bought around 25 sq km east of Cairo and connected them with a suburban tram to the city centre (of course the track gauge was 1000mm just like the Vicinales of his native Belgium). Here he started building luxury residences, a gigantic hotel (today it is the presidential palace) and a leisure park. Heliopolis is criss-crossed by such wide avenues with trams running in the median strip. Here is our first picture of a Cairo tram.

17 february 2010 - Helwan, Omar Ibn Abd El Aziz street. And so ends our little trip around Helwan. On our way from the depot we talked our friendly driver into going onto the other branch, but after about a kilometre from the junction he gave up saying something's not right further ahead. We therefore decided to go back to the centre of Helwan, arranging an impromptu tram driver's course. We all passed, but airbrakes are definitely not my thing - I nearly crashed into a minibus at a crossing :)

17 february 2010 - Helwan, tram depot. The driver organised an impromptu parade in front of the tram depot, which was such a state secret that we weren't allowed to enter.... Sadly, in order to get the vehicles side by side, car 6103 had to use the crossover outside the gate. I can't honestly remember whether the catenary above the crossover was sagging badly or whether it was there at all, but you can see the result of that manoeuvre. After the old banger in the EMPC film studios, this was the second car in Egypt to be broken in our honour...

17 february 2010 - Helwan, tram depot. Despite the fact, that the system is in a terrible state, the security of the depot is compromised by two groups - scrap metal hunters and tram fans from Europe... After walking 3km to the tram depot, some guy appeared out of nowhere. He spoke decent English and we asked him whether he could get us past the guys at the gate. Sadly - that didn't work. Instead, we got to know a very nice tram driver, who led us to a local shop where we could buy water. While other group members were giving away free English lessons, I strayed aside and took this shot through the fence. Next to the scrapyard pictured, there was a few tens of trams standing in the shed. Generally speaking, there were enough trams in the depots to guarantee a 7.5 minute frequency on both routes. Sadly - the number of cars working on this day was around 5 or so, and the running frequency was determined by the mood of the depot crew.

17 february 2010 - Helwan, terminus El Tabbin. As you can see by the positioning of the vehicle, the tracks in Helwan haven't seen a tampering machine since they were built in 1981. We are standing near the Nile, next to a metallurgical institute - the tram probably used to carry many of its workers. Sadly, I don't know what we did to piss off the crew of the tram, but they left before we had a chance to take pictures of the tram and jump back on board for the return journey. We did the three kilometres back to the depot on foot. Of course with the exception of Dave, who always does his own thing...

17 february 2010 - Helwan, Emtedad Atef El Barquqi. There is a vegetable and fruit market on this street, alongside the tracks. As the frequency of the tram is defined by a complex interaction of prayer times, accidents, vehicle condition and - last but not least - the mood of the drivers, the rubbish from the market is thrown straight onto the tracks. On this momentous occasion of a tram passing along the street, some workers got to work shovelling the rubbish from the tracks to let the tram get through. I'd rather not mention the smell... All in all, if you ever wondered what hell for trams looks like - it is in Helwan...

Énergie Cairo #112

16 february 2010 - Egypt Media Production City (EMPC), 6th of October City, Egypt. In 1979 the erstwhile president Anwar Sadat decreed the creation of a new city in the desert off Giza. The 'city' consists mainly of different kinds of universities, but also houses one of the world's largest film studios. The EMPC holds many different kinds of film locations, including this Egyptian street from the first half of the 20th Century. It comes complete with fake houses, a fake mosque and 200m of tram track, including this ex-Cairo tram of Belgian origin. The car is in an abysmal condition - the first notch is missing, the body is bent like an EU-regulations banana, and the brakes locked themselves when we rode it. In the picture the helper of the driver is reversing the trolley pole at the southern end of the line. The manufacturer's plate of this tram looks something like this: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4650/2552.jpg

27 october 2009 - Londyn, City of Westminster, stacja Bayswater. Nie jest to może najlepsza jakościowo fotka, jaką w życiu popełniłem, ale nie o pociąg tu chodzi. Chodzi o to, co jest napisane na jego filmie. Według przecieków do prasy fachowej od grudniowej zmiany rozkładu Circle Line przestanie istnieć. To nie żart – chcąc pozbyć się naczelnej choroby linii okólnych (braku krańca by nadrobić opóźnienia) i aby wspomóc Hammersmith & City w dowożeniu ludzi na zakupy do wielkiego centrum handlowego w Shepherd’s Bush, Circle Line zamieni się w trasę o kształcie odwróconej filiżanki. Po odjeździe z Hammersmith pociągi zatoczą koło wokół śródmieścia jak dotąd i zakończą bieg na Edgware Road by w drodze powrotnej pokonać to kółko w kierunku przeciwnym. Nazwa nowej linii jest jeszcze nieznana. Po części się ze zmianami zgadzam – Circle Line to fantom, który rzadko kiedy kursuje z przepisaną w rozkładzie częstotliwością 7 kursów w godzinie. Niestety – pasażerowie z Kensington i Notting Hill zmierzający w kierunku dworców Euston, Kings Cross i St. Pancras będą musieli zaliczać odtąd obowiązkową przesiadkę, która często będzie oznaczać przejście przez rachityczny mostek na owej stacji. Plan wykonany przeze mnie (źródło: październikowy numer „Modern Railways) pokazuje sytuację docelową w 2018r., kiedy to wielka modernizacja metra wielkoprofilowego (instalacja ATO plus nowy tabor) ma dobiec końca.

The route itself was once a "normal" suburban railway, taken over by London Underground during the "New Works" programme in the late 40s. The eastern portions of the Central Line still feel very much like a railway, thanks to the lovely station buildings and route sections like this one.

Bombardier T4000 #4014

16 august 2008 - Bruxelles, Churchillaan. Kolejne zdjęcie niedoświetlone, z przejaranym kontrastem, ziarniste, czarno-białe pośrodku kolorowych i takie ogólnie do kitu. Idziemy dalej, nie ma nic tu do zobaczenia…

Van Hool AG280T #08

16 august 2008 - Gent, Dendermontsesteenweg. Wymierający gatunek, mimo, że trzyma się nawet-nawet. De Lijn już jest w trakcie zamiany linii na tabor AG300 CNG i około połowy brygad w tej chwili to dieslowskie AG300. Z jednej strony szkoda, z drugiej strony – jaki sens ekonomiczny ma JEDNA linia trolejbusowa?

PCC #6205

16 august 2008 - Gent, Koupure Rechts. Klimatyczna wąska uliczka wzdłuż kanału i śliczne PCC :)

SachsenTram MGT6-2B #6338

16 august 2008 - Gent, Koning Albertlaan. Śmiechowe i ciasnawe te tramwaje, ale też sieć tramwajowa Gent ma kosmiczne wymagania :) Wąskie uliczki, mosty obrotowe, itp. Naprawdę polecam!

BN GTL8 #3064

15 august 2008 - Den Haag, Paul Krugerlaan. O te wagony będzie niezła bitwa w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej. Nowoczesne, zadbane, pojemne… Kopa w sumie też mają…
