MM gets 8km underground trial run, services by year-end

In a significant milestone, the highly anticipated Mumbai Metro 3 underground corridor conducted its maiden long-distance trial on Sunday. During this trial run, a train embarked on a journey covering six stations, spanning from MIDC to Vidyanagari, encompassing an impressive 8 kilometers. The trial train subsequently retraced its path to Seepz station, completing a total distance of approximately 17 kilometers.

The Mumbai Metro authorities are setting their sights on commencing passenger services by the end of this year, specifically between Aarey and BKC. This segment represents the initial phase of the Aarey-Cuffe Parade corridor, often referred to as the Aqua Line.

A video showcasing the tunnel, captured from the driver's cabin of the moving train, was shared on social media, accompanied by interior photographs of the train itself. This content generated widespread engagement, amassing thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets.

A spokesperson from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) emphasized the significance of this milestone, characterizing it as the culmination of extensive infrastructure work encompassing tracks, the overhead contact system (power lines for trains), rolling stock, and essential structures such as platform screen doors.

This development marks a promising step forward in the advancement of Mumbai's metro network, ultimately enhancing connectivity and convenience for the city's residents.
