Trains are expected to be delayed on Wednesday between 15 to 45 minutes behind schedule due to underway maintenance, the Transport Ministry said.

In a statement, the ministry said delays are prompted by the ongoing maintenance of trains and renovation of level crossings and traffic light signals.

Delays, that have been reported for days now, are to cover Cairo/Alexandria, High Dam/Banha, Cairo/High Dam, Banha/Port Said and Tanta/Mansoura/Dameitta, the ministry said.
