What can be termed as an important development, the dynamic testing (TCMS based) and trial run on 20-km stretch on Metro Line 2A&7 began on Saturday. It is said that this critical step has brought MMRDA closer to the dream of starting actual operations on Metro Line 2A (Dahisar to DN Nagar) and Metro Line 7 (Dahisar East to Andheri East).

According to a press release issued by the MMRDA, “From Saturday onwards, with the availability of first prototype train set, the dynamic test and trial run on the 20-kilometre stretch between Dhanukarwadi and Aarey on Metro Line 2A and 7 has been started. With the integration of traction control and management system (TCMS), the said dynamic trial runs have been initiated.”
