17 february 2010 - Helwan, tram depot. And into this mess came this tram - we decided to leave the accident site and drive off towards Helwan city centre.

17 february 2010 - Helwan (EG) - Omar Ibn Abd El Aziz street. These Kinki Sharyo trams are from the same large batch as those in Cairo and it looks like some of them have been brought here from the city at some time (although there are lots of ‘spare’ trams in the Helwan depot yard, most of which are probably broken and will never run again). When Helwan was a showplace for light rail operation in the 1980s, trams ran as three-car trains (as still happens in Heliopolis today), but there are no central trailers working today – no doubt these are dumped somewhere at the back of the depot.

21 february 2010 - Helwan (EG) - Omar Ibn Abd El Aziz street. A picture by my good friend Christian Breindl shows the place where the tramway splits briefly into four tracks to cross an industrial railway. Please remember that you are looking at a WORKING tramway (even though the operation is very irregular and there doesn’t appear to be a proper timetable). The condition of the tracks is typical of nearly all the Helwan system.
