Curves
According to the table of the permanent restricted speed from Cairo to Shubra, we have a speed limit of
50km/h for 3km due to curves.
 due what there is a speed restriction of 3km?
 Is the restriction applicable for all tracks or only main tracks?
 Is the speed of the main line (outside this restriction from table) 160km/h?
Gradient Profile (GP)
Is the following gradient profile applicable of all tracks?

Reason Requested:
The PoE creation needs to be created for ETCS Trackside purpose based on gradient profile (GP) and
static speed profile (SSP) for all areas, tracks, points (incl. diverging direction/turn out) on the plan,
where it is possible to go with the train. GP & SSP profile shall be provided completely for all stations in
whole line (main line, siding tracks) without missing data for some areas, tracks, points (incl. diverging
direction/turn out), otherwise can lead to dangerous/safety moments on the track because assumed
speed will be too high.
