“During the trial run many parameters like tracks fitness, emergency brake, power supply, proper docking of rake, response of the station staff etc were rigorously checked,” Metro Railway Kolkata said.
In its press release, it said that this 5.4-kilometre stretch of Orange Line is ready for commissioning and that the trial runs are “necessary for the preparation”.
