Kanpur: The Kanpur Metro conducted its first trial run along the depot test track in recent days. This was ahead of the RDSO trials slated next month.
Reportedly, the brand new three-coach train of the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation fleet covered a total of 3,900 meters by completing three laps of the 650-meters-long test track.
The testing of the train concluded on a positive note. The train started chugging down the track at the pace of 10-15 km/per hour. It stroked the speed of 30 kms/hour ultimately.
Notably, the metro rakes have the capacity to shuttle up to 974 passengers along the 9-km-long Priority Corridor.
Kanpur Metro is expected to start its commercial services from December 2021 or January 2022, as is being expected.
