MahaMetro speeds up trial runs on Pimpri-Phugewadi section
MahaMetro, which is implementing the Pune Metro project, has started training loco pilots who will be steering the Metro trains. The move, officials said, indicates that they are preparing to launch the Metro services in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Wednesday, the Metro trains made several rounds between Pimpri and Phugewadi stations, a distance of about 5.8 km. “These trials are held before actual service begins. Yes, we are preparing to launch the service but the date has not been finalised as yet,” said Hemant Sonawane, spokesperson for MahaMetro.
