Nagpur Metro to cover the distance between Lokmanya Nagar and Sitabuldi Interchange within 20 minutes.
From Day One on the Aqua Line to Lokmanya Nagar Station and Sitabuldi Interchange Journey in just 20 Minutes Now the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety Node for 80 km / h Speed Between Lokmanya Nagar Station and Sitabuldi Interchange Orange Line Experience Comes Handy For Aqua-Line Clearances The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has given his consent to the operation. This would enable the metro train to run at a specified speed from the day the services are introduced on the Aqua Line.
This would mean that the journey between these two stations would take just 20 minutes. The fact that the metro train can run at 80 km / h from day one of its launch is a significant achievement for the project. The journey between these two stations normally takes up to an hour, which can now be completed in just 20 minutes.
While CMRS had previously imposed sanctions for beginning commercial operations in Reach-I, the entire process was carried out in multiple steps. However, the same process was carried out in Reach-III in reduced steps and the metro train can now operate on the Aqua Line at a speed of 80 km / h on its own from the first day.
The experience of CMRS trials in Reach-I was handy for Maha Metro while conducting similar tests in Reach-III. While the necessary clearances for R-III came in one go, the different phases of clearances for Orange Line are listed below:
- 1 train, 1 line, 1 hr, 25 kmph, 12 trips
- 2 trains, both lines, 1 hr, 25 kmph, 25 trips
- 4 trains, both lines, 30 min, 25 kmph, 48 trips
- 4 trains, both lines, 15min, 80 kmph max, 100 trips
Some time back, the CMRS carried out experiments on the basis of Communication Based Train Control (CBTC), Automatic Train Safety, Traffic Control System, Automatic Train Control and other mechanisms. There was a team of CMRS officials in Nagpur for these exams. The node of the CMRS came after successfully performing trials in these regions.
Work on four subway stations, other than Sitabuldi Interchange, has been completed. These are: Lokmanya Nagar, Subhash Nagar, Institute of Engineers and Jhansi Rani Square Metro Station. With all the requisite permits already under the belt, Maha Metro is all set up for the launch of passenger services on the Aqua Line.
