The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC)—the agency executing the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project—has begun trial runs on a 4.5km stretch in the Capital between the New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan stations, officials aware of the matter said on Sunday.
NEW DELHI: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) — the agency executing the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project — has begun trial runs on a 4.5km stretch in the Capital between the New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan stations, officials aware of the matter said on Sunday.
Trains operating on the RRTS corridor have been named Namo Bharat. At present, only a 55km section of the line is open — between New Ashok Nagar and Meerut South. Two of the 11 operational stations are in Delhi, while the rest are in Uttar Pradesh.
NCRTC officials said on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, the Namo Bharat train crossed the Yamuna for the first time — a major milestone for the agency — and entered the Sarai Kale Khan station.
