With the successful completion of trial runs till Noida Sector-16 station, Delhi Metro today began trial runs on the entire 13.1 km Yamuna Bank-Noida corridor which is expected to be open to the public by the middle of November.

The trial runs on the entire Noida corridor (between Yamuna Bank and Noida City Centre, Sector 32)) began today at 2:30 pm in the afternoon covering a distance of approximately 13 kms, a DMRC spokesman said.

The opening of the route will result in a paradigm shift in the travel habit of thousands of people in the National Capital Region. The Yamuna Bank, Noida City Centre Metro corridor is almost 13.1 kms long and is completely elevated consisting of 10 stations. The corridor will be integrated with the existing 34.3 km Yamuna Bank?"Dwarka Sector-9 extending the total length of Line-3 to 47.4 kms.

The corridor is expected to be inaugurated by mid-November to enable people from Noida to visit the India International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan beginning on November 14.

However, the spokesman said, the final opening date of this line will depend upon the successful completion of the trails and clearance by the Commissioner for Metro Railway Safety.

About 53,000 passengers are expected to join the new age transport system after the opening of the Noida corridor.During the trial runs today, the interaction of the Metro train with physical infringement (civil structure) was checked to ensure that there was no physical blockage during the movement of the train.

Special emphasis will be given on safety which is the prime concern during a trial, as DMRC has to ensure that the system is fully safe for use before the section is opened for the public. With the opening of the section, Line III will comprise a total of 42 stations and its length will increase to 47.2 kms. There are 10 stations on the 13.1 km section, out of which four fall within Delhi and six in Noida.

Decks were cleared for the DMRC to cross Delhi and enter NCR when Parliament passed a Bill to give legal cover for construction, operation and maintenance of the metro rail system in the National Capital Region and other metro cities.

The upcoming Metro stations on the Noida corridor will have a completely new and modern look. The exterior of the station will be made using a special technique called ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel).

This technique is mostly used in the exterior portion of malls and other modern buildings to provide an aesthetic and modern look.

Parking facility has been provided at all stations till New Ashok Nagar and in Noida at Botanical Garden and Noida City Centre Metro stations.
