This document summarizes Egypt's national rail system and plans for its modernization. It notes that Egypt has a population of 87 million with steady growth, and its rail system carries 1.2 million passengers daily. The rail system uses outdated technology and equipment. Plans are outlined to enhance worker skills and safety, modernize infrastructure, rolling stock, and stations, and integrate systems according to international standards over the next 10 years with $77 billion in investments. This will improve service quality, efficiency, and safety to meet growing passenger and freight demand.

2
Enhance skills and competence, process reengineering and technology.
Modernize ASSETS
BEST PRACTICES for Safety and Quality
Infrastructure network, rolling stocks fleet, stations, workshops and Information Technology in line with international standards.

7. 7
Processes and Procedures
1
The processes cover all aspects of a modern railway system and are designed according to international best practices and in line with European Regulations.
Almost all the proposed processes can be managed through integrated systems contributing to an high level of reliability and efficiency.
Infrastructure asset management
Processes
Infrastructure network performance
Infrastructure capacity allocation and offer
Train circulation: rules and operation control
Rolling stock asset management

Competence and training

8. 8
Knowledge transfer process
2
Knowledge transfer and training are focused on acquisition and maintenance of certified skills, designed to match the technical contents of the processes, giving high priority to the critical jobs in terms of safety regulations and management know-how transfer and managing such approach through a Competence management system
Jobs direct related to train circulation and critical for safety regulations
Circulation and traffic management
Infrastructure maintenance
Signalling and telecommunication
Train Drivers
Train Conductors
Train composition
Train technical verification
Rolling stock maintenance
For these roles it is mandatory to identify a methodology for recruitment, training, control and maintenance of the skills

ENR Investments Plan by categories

11. 11
ENR Investments Plan: strategic assumption
ENR Investments Plan - 77 billions of EGP in ten years - is based on some strategic priorities defined at Ministry of Transport level and the projects included in the Plan are focused on the implementation of such strategies.
1
Enhance level of safety according to international standard through the upgrading of signalling system and automatic train protection on four main corridors and 3,500 km of secondary lines, automation of 65% of level crossing, renew more than 37% of the tracks in the next five years.
Main key points:
2
Modernize ENR fleet of coaches, of which 50% has exceeded 30 years old through renewing current rolling stock and supplying new locos and trainsets with the aim of increasing safety and level of services.

12. 12
ENR Investments Plan: strategic assumption
3
Upgrade the efficiency of ENR 20 main workshops for overhaul and current maintenance through rehabilitation and supply of fixed and moveable equipment and machines also improving spaces availability inside the yards and level of safety and security.
4
Increase the freight market share through improving freight fleet and container transport; moreover promoting modal shift from road to rail involving private operators in some sectors (cement, sugar, cerals).
5
Upgrade information technology and promoting the complete application inside ENR of the systems like ERP SAP, ticketing and sales system, delays management system, rolling stocks circle and electronic timetable, completing also the electronic networking among ENR Departments.
