Chennai Metro plans to operate trains on lease for Phase-II

CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is preparing to run around 25% metro rails on lease for Phase-II corridors having the target to save time & expense on procurement, operation, along with maintenance of the coaches.

However, this plan was made by DMRC to execute trial runs on lease in their Line-1 & Line-2 of Delhi Metro Rail network & floated tenders to get the answer from private operators.

Delhi Metro got responses from an entirety of eleven private operators but there is no additional development done after that the plan put on hold. “CMRL would follow a wet-lease model, where the company which rents out the trains would also operate and maintain. The train would come with crew and maintenance staff,” stated an official. Once we complete floating tenders for civil work, we would begin calling tenders for systems that include trains. It would be similar to govt departments hiring cars from an agency and let them run and maintain them,” he further added.

Chennai Metro is in expectation of to start the development of tunnels along with the 52 km priority corridor at the start of 2021 and the corridor is supposed to be available in next 5 yrs. As per the project rules funding body Japan International Cooperation Agency, CMRL would procure coaches from Japan for the upcoming corridors between Madhavaram-Sholinganallur and Madhavaram-CMBT. And for the left corridors, the CMRL would seek assistance from private operators to operate trains on a lease basis.

“We would have 3 types of rolling stock which are: trains from Japan by international competitive bidding & by wet-lease model. There is no metro rail networks in the country have used trains, but only NITI Aayog is now executing it necessary for coming metro projects to follow the wet-lease model,” the official.

“We do not know that we would save any money by taking trains on rent but we don’t have to worry about operations and maintenance. If in case any breakdown or any emergency the constructor would handle it,” an official announced. According to the DPR of Chennai Metro Phase-II, it would initially need 138 trains to cater to an expected everyday ridership of 19.2 lakh.

Using Vodafone 5G network Thales starts trial of the driverless train

GERMANY (Metro Rail News): In Erzgebirge, Thales Transportation has started the trial of a driverless train by remote control at the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus, Germany. For that, Thales is using their Lucy laboratory train that is held through Vodafone 5G network. Vodafone has installed its 1st 5G base stations in Germany.

By using the Vodafone 5G network, the train running is successfully managed by the remote that helps various virtual networks share a physical network building. Somehow, the Vodafone technology gives a separate 5G network for railway trials.

Vodafone network is tested that even if various users in the direct vicinity also surf the equivalent internet network the remote-controlled mobile radio capacities are constantly available to control the train by using the remote.

By the help of Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC), the data is processed direct on-site in a small data centre in the direct vicinity of the mobile base station. The data can be processed without pause as this does not have to travel long distances.

The Vodafone 5G technology allows bandwidths more prominent than 500 Mbps on the test track and decreases the latency to less than ten milliseconds. Thales has given the control and security systems for the 5G project along with the installation of the test environment and sensors, with a remote control system for the train in co-operation with the German Aerospace Centre and Railergy.

MD of Vodafone Germany Alexander Saul stated that We are putting 5G 1st time on the tracks. With our industrial partners, we are testing that new applications would be possible with 5G.

MD of Transportation Division Thales Germany, Yves Joannic stated that 5G opens up an entire world of new opportunities. Up to and with 4G, consumers were the 1st to profit from each wireless technologies of the new generation. With contrast, 5G’s main interest lies in B2B markets.

The Federal Ministry of Education & Research’s Change By Innovation program and more than a hundred partners of the railway industry is supported this project.

Mumbai Metro 3 Power Prices Hike, Directly Hit Passenger Fares

Mumbai (Metro Rail News): Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) is confused at the hike of electricity costs for the Colaba-Seepz Metro-3 line (Mumbai Meto Line 3).

The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has stated that it has followed an official tariff outlook with the hike.
It’s worth aiming out that the MMRCL had forced the MERC to reduce power prices and waive wheeling charges.

MMRCL doesn’t receive cross-subsidies from the government as the railways do.

“Metro companies such as Kochi Metro, the electricity charge is Rs 4.8 per unit while that of railways is Rs 5.1 per unit. Similarly, in Bengaluru, the power price for Metro is Rs 5 per unit as against is 6 per unit for railways. There is a discount is given in Metro tariff as compared to railway tariff as the latter can earn through cross-subsidy arrangement with freight earnings”, Said MMRCL official.

The increase in power charges could become higher ticket fares for the passengers when the Mumbai metro line 3 is operational.

Mumbai Metro line 3 will be operational between Seepz and Colaba was expected to cost Rs 23,000 crore when it was proposed in 2011. However, the project has already cost Rs 32,000 crore.
“It is shocking that when rates have decreased overall and for residential users and other categories, the Metro Rail has to bear high costs. We are underground and have no means to produce additional solar power. We will depend on the electricity supplied by Tata Power and have not got any relief in charges” an unnamed source from the MMRCL said.
