This website has the expanded timetable and also has a good explanation for differences between classes and the difference between the "Express" and "Turbine" trains: http://www.seat61.com/Egypt.htm#Cairo%20-%20Alexandria -Justin On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 7:02 PM, Maria Fanucchi <marialadouce(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Ant, I don't have a direct link to the schedule, but I'm from Alexandria and studying in Cairo since 2005, so I know that the latest train from cairo to Alex daily leaves at 10:30 pm, and also there is 6, 7, 8, and 9 pm Thanks Nada -------------------------------------------------- From: "Florence Devouard" <fdevouard(a)wikimedia.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 1:35 AM To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: [Wikimania-l] Travel

Hmmm, got the link just right. I must say I hesitate to plan taking the last train, given the time of arrival. The latest thing I want is to be 5 mn too late to pick up the last train and find myself alone in the middle of the city at 23pm :-((( I think it might be best that I plan to stay in a hotel at night, probably at the airport, and then pick up a morning train... I'll explore the option... Ant Nada Rady wrote:

Providing we have your arrival time, we will plan a car/bus whatever to make sure you get to Alexandria that day. Du nicht worry. Delphine -- ~notafish NB.
