On 3rd trial run conducted
The third round of metro trial runs was successfully held as part of Chennai Metro Rail Limited’s Phase 2 project, covering the downline stretch between Porur and Poonamallee Bypass stations.
Metro train operation tested
Train movement was tested for safety, alignment, and braking accuracy on the downline. Engineers monitored real-time performance and checked for vibration, clearance, and system stability.
Officials monitor closely
Senior engineers, safety officers, and metro officials closely supervised the testing process, recording observations to fine-tune any operational or technical inconsistencies.
Key system checks done
Essential systems such as signalling, communication, and track stability were tested under various conditions to ensure smooth and safe future operations for passengers.
Phase 2 progress on track
This test marks a significant milestone for the Phase 2 corridor development, showing that construction and operational readiness are progressing steadily towards completion.
Passenger safety evaluated
During the trial, safety parameters including emergency braking, door functions, and passenger announcement systems were examined to ensure readiness for public use.
Route spans busy corridor
The test was conducted on a vital urban corridor, aimed at easing traffic and boosting connectivity along the rapidly growing Porur–Poonamallee stretch in western Chennai.
