# Egyptian Railways service updates > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/egyptian-rail-schedule-publications > Updated: 2026-08-04T22:34:09.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 21. The National Authority for Egyptian Railways has continued to issue detailed timetables and service notices throughout 2026. After publishing comprehensive July 26 schedules for the Cairo‑Alexandria and Aswan‑Cairo corridors, the authority released earlier timetables in late May covering all north‑south routes and urging advance ticket purchase for the Eid al‑Adha period. June saw a series of daily schedules – for example the full Cairo‑Alexandria timetable on 13 June, the June 15 Upper‑Egypt timetable, and the combined Cairo‑Alexandria and Aswan‑Cairo tables for 18 June, 24 June, 27 June and 28‑29 June – each listing premium Talgo, VIP, Russian‑type, Spanish‑modified and standard air‑conditioned services. On 23 June the Mahram Bick ↔ Borg Al‑Arab line was reinstated with two daily passenger trains. July announcements added Talgo luxury‑train times and fares (early July), special third‑class discounted trains on Cairo‑Ismailia and Cairo‑Alexandria (mid‑July), and a full July 8 timetable with online ticketing procedures and price tables. The authority expanded e‑ticket booking to a 12‑hour advance window and concluded a free‑ticket programme tied to the railway’s 175th anniversary on 18 July, alongside museum and cultural events. A July 16 schedule for the Cairo‑Ismailia‑Port Said corridor listed 36 daily trips. Finally, on 2 August the full Cairo‑Alexandria timetable was released together with a temporary speed‑reduction order from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. due to extreme heat, resulting in 15–70 minute delays on several routes. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-04: Egyptian National Railways publishes Talgo luxury train timetables Egyptian National Railways released Talgo luxury train schedules for Cairo‑Aswan and
