I’m receiving news the Underground Metro drivers are on strike, and they have assembled at Orabi Station.

I’m trying to confirm the news now…

UPDATE: Three minutes after I posted the above, I was in my car ready to take off to Ramses Sq to check the strike, and that’s when a friend called in to say the strike was suspended and the trains are running again, so I walked back home to update the posting. I’m still trying to find out exactly what happened.. but the initial reports are saying that a driver was injured, and there was a delay in his transfer to the hospital. So the drivers went on strike, and stood on the rails, in front of the trains to block their movement. The strike lasted something between 15 to 30 mins, till the ambulance arrived. I’ll update the posting when I receive more information.
