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.

Odpowiem po angielsku co by Dave potwierdzil: I reckon they had a good 60 or so trams in the depot - given that the network is ca. 18km long that would suffice for a 7.5 minute frequency easily.
