The train reversal facility beyond Hi-tec city station up to Trident Hotel would take a few more months for completion, the release said adding that a solution has been found and trains would be run on the ‘twin single-line method’. Under this method, the release said,
A double-line railway track functions as two separate single-lines wherein each line works as an independent single-line and trains are operated in both up and down directions on the same line as if these are two independent single lines.
This method, used by many railways around the world, including Indian Railways, would be followed till train reversal facility beyond Hi-Tec City Metro Station is completed, the release said. Both conventional railway signaling system and the sophisticated communication-based train control system of Hyderabad Metro permit this type of twin single-line train
operations, it said.
