Sunday I ended up on the same metro that I was on the other day. Unlike other metro cars where you only find Mubarak Station scratched out and replaced, this particular metro car has both Mubarak *and* Sadat station names crossed out.
In their place, we have the usual "al-Shuhadāʾ" (The Martyrs), which replaces Sadat. Needing a different name to replace Mubarak, this particular writer chose to up it to "Damm al-Shuhadāʾ" (The Blood of the Martyrs.)
