Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System’s (RRTS) final trial runs are expected to take place on the Ghaziabad priority section by the end of this month or in the first week of February. This 17-km-long corridor, which will connect Sahibabad to Duhai, is expected to open for public by March.
The pre-trial runs of the semi-high-speed train took few days ago and it managed to hit a top speed of 180 kmph. The trains have been developed by France-based rolling stock manufacturer, Alstom.
"Designed at Alstom’s Hyderabad engineering centre and manufactured at Savli (Gujarat), these trains are 100 percent indigenous, in line with the government’s Make in India programme and Aatmanirbhar Bharat’s ambition," Alstom said earlier.
Key features of the RRTS trains
- Maximum speed of 180 kmph.
- The cars are fully air-conditioned
- Ergonomically built 2×2 transverse seating
- Wide gangways for comfortable standing space
- Spacious overhead luggage racks
- CCTV cameras
- Fire and smoke detector
- Intercom for emergency contact
- Exterior cameras and door status indicators
- WiFi, laptop/mobile/USB charging stations are provided for passengers
- Dynamic route display maps
- Auto-controlled ambient lighting system
- Large windows for a panoramic view
Alstom India Managing Director Alain Spohr said, “This project is a game-changer in India’s regional rail segment, benefitting millions of people and contributing towards socio-economic development."
After the start of the first-phase priority section, the second phase will connect Duhai to Meerut South Station and then stage three will bring the corridor to Delhi.
