17 február 2010 - Helwan, tram depot. To continue our little story from yesterday - the friendly tram driver told us that he's just leaving the depot to make a run to Helwan. He disappeared inside the shed and brought out another train for us, including the crew (a conductor in each car). But he didn't stop there...

17 február 2010 - Helwan (EG) – El Galel. It seemed that this tram set was brought out specially from the depot, so that the European visitors could all try their hand at tram driving! Typically in Helwan, no local passengers got on or off. We struggled along on very low power (and it seemed with a faulty controller) to this point on the line to the east of the city, where a slight gradient was too much for the tram to continue. Note the luxurious café on the left!

17 február 2010 - Helwan (EG) - Omar ibn Abd el Aziz Street. One of the battered and bruised Kinki Sharyo cars that maintain some sort of tram service in this city south of Cairo - surely the most decrepit and derelict working tramway in the world?

17 február 2010 - Helwan (EG) - Omar Ibn Abd El Aziz street. A few more pictures of the amazing Helwan tramway. It is being said that this line stopped running after the Egyptian revolution in summer 2011, and may have closed down – does anyone know the true position? As we only discovered if it was still operating in February 2010 (even senior CTA managers in Cairo didn’t really know), it is clear that you will only find out by actually going there. Even then, we walked the derelict tracks for over 1km until we found one working tram. This is the junction between the ‘main line’ (joke) and branches to the railway station and university, one of which was built but never opened and the other is partly abandoned. Note the Arabic ‘tram stop’ sign with ‘ARRET’ in French underneath.

17 február 2010 - Helwan, Egypt - El Harery Street: Kinki Sharyo tram #6133 poses outside the depot, which was full of trams unlikely to ever run again, some of which had been parked there for years. A pair was occasionally tempted into life and dragged reluctantly out onto the rickety tracks, but there was no semblance of a regular service any more and the trams seemed to only run for the crews` amusement. The only travellers now preferred the frequent minibuses which ran everywhere. If you did happen to catch a tram, you had to be sure to bring a sheet of cardboard to sit on (all the seats were filthy) and have lots of time to spare!
