KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): The 5.4-kilometre New Garia-Ruby portion of the New Garia-Ruby stretch of the New Garia-Airport Metro Corridor will undergo a safety examination on January 30, 2023, according to the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS).The new Garia-Ruby segment underwent a three-round trial run with the help of the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) and Kolkata Metro Railway, with the medha rake reaching a top speed of 83 kmph. The CRS inspection of our sector is now ready. In under seven minutes, the train completed the five stations, according to a senior official, RVNL.A letter was released on the inauguration of a new permanent broad gauge line of 5.4 km (electrified) from Kavi Subhas to Hemanta Mukhopadhyay stations for public passenger transportation following a meeting between the commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS), Kolkata Metro Railway, and RVNL.The 32km Airport-New Garia line's shortened new Garia-Ruby portion will operate on a one-train system with no signals, similar to the Joka-Taratala metro route. However, due to the delay in activating the sophisticated communication-based train control system (CBTC) signalling system, only one rake will move up and down the track.A non-AC rake leased from the Noapara carshed of the North-South line was used for the reduced section's first train experiment. There were some problems at that time since the tracks weren't clear, and the train had to stop a few times to pass through the five stops, on September 24, 2023.However, the rake testing for passenger services went quite smoothly, and we feel entirely ready for the CRS inspection, a Metro Railway official said.There is yet to be another operational carshed nearby. Thus the rake had to be transferred from the Noapara carshed for the Joka-Taratala trials in pieces (two coaches for each voyage). A working terminal may be seen adjacent to the brand-new Kavi Subhas terminal. "We just had to remove the buffer between two depots and install 180 metres of connecting tracks", a senior RVNL official said.
