One of the reasons for adding an empty car to trains in Egypt is to confront train collisions and reduce the number of casualties resulting from these accidents.
And the Egyptian Railways Authority decided to replace the last carriage of the trains with empty carriages of passengers, or to load luggage with them.
The last carriage of the train leaves the workshop in case it is decided to leave it empty and lock its doors with the keys.
The Railway Authority instructed the workshops to lock the doors of the last carriage of the trains with keys before heading to the station to conduct its journeys, provided that the keys remain in the custody of the train's security personnel.
The Railway Authority called on the Railway Company for Integrated Services and its insurance and cleaning works to provide a sufficient number of administrative security personnel to close the last carriage, and to prevent the presence of any people in it.
Legal measures will be taken against anyone who is in the last carriage of any train, in order to preserve the safety of passengers and the running of the trains.
The Railway Authority has sent its decision to all its departments concerned with the decision, including the sales department, to take into account that no seats are reserved.
