NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): India’s first Regional Rail, RAPIDX, Stations are painted in beige and blue tones to reference the colour spectrum of a peacock feather. The Priority Section of stations are ready for use, and this section of the corridor stands out for its beauty while still merging with its surroundings.
One of the primary qualities of RAPIDX trains is speed, which is depicted by the outside roofs of RAPIDX stations that are planned to be curved on both sides. The fact that the width of the stations along the RAPIDX corridor differs from station to station is another factor in the roof’s design. Because of this design element, they appear symmetrical and linear.
In addition, the foot-over bridges constructed as part of multi-modal integration also be painted in the same colours, which is another unique aspect of this design. In other words, they are also covered to shield commuters from the sun and rain during all types of weather.
Furthermore, Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) have been placed for safety at every stop. These PSDs will be connected to the railway’s signalling system, so the train won’t move until both the doors and the PSD are shut.
The NCRTC strives to obtain the highest level of IGBC accreditation to support a clean and green environment for all RAPIDX stations, depots, power substations, and other buildings.
The 17-kilometre Priority Section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor will shortly be opened to the public ahead of schedule.
