DELHI( Metro Rail News): NCRTC has suggested some significant amendments in the route of the Rapidx trains on the Delhi-Gurugram route. The Rapidx trains will now run along the NH8 motorway near Gurgaon.
Earlier, the route followed the Old Delhi- Gurgaon road connecting the NH8 only at Signature Towers. The Rapidx train will enter Gurgaon from Aerocity & the first station will be Cyber Hub.
Earlier, NHAI was hesitant to allow for this owing to their plans regarding expansion and development along the expressway. However, NHAI has now permitted the RAPIDX trains to run along the NH8.
This will significantly impact the lives of the daily office-goers and travellers in and around NCR. It will reduce travel time by many folds, decreasing people’s stress and disappointment with the coverage of longer distances.
The weekly brief metro & rail professionals read.
NCRTC, the governing body of RRTS, is now preparing a new DPR, considering the suggestive route changes. This is likely to delay the project’s timeline.
