The upcoming trial run of the country’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) trains on a 17km priority stretch in Ghaziabad will be based on four broad parameters. The trials are likely to start in mid-December, said NCR Transport Corporation (NCRTC) officials.
“The four components to be tested are the newly inducted RRTS train, the ballast less track slabs, the European Train Control System level 2-signalling and its implementation on the LTE network, and the overhead equipment (OHE). All four will be tested independently and later in synergy to get the desired output,” said Puneet Vats, chief PRO of NCRTC.
The 82km-long RRTS route will connect Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut of which a 17km section in Ghaziabad is likely to start operating from March, 2023 – it is the latter section that will see trial runs from December.
