Hanoi (VNA) - Trains on the Nhon-Hanoi Train station metro lines wereput on a trial run at a maximum speed of 80km per hour on December 6 morning.
Thespeed was pushed to the maximum to check the operation quality as well as thesynchronisation between the information, signals, and control systems,according to the Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB).
The12-kilometre Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line starts from Nhon in Nam Tu Liem districtand ends at the Hanoi Station in Dong Da district, and includes eight elevatedstations and four underground.
Thetrains departed from the S1 Station (Nhon) and ran to S8 Station (Cau Giay district)and returned. The distance between the two stations is 8.5 km.
Thedesigned maximum speed of the trains is 80km per hour. But in reality, it ishard for the train to increase to that speed because the distance between twostations is around 1km, according to the MRB.
Theaverage speed of the trains will be 35km per hour and the trains could reach aspeed of up to 70km per hour at the middle of the two stations, the MRB said.
Thetrial run at the maximum speed is important to examine the operational qualityof the trains and assess safety.
Oncefully operational, eight trains will be officially in service, with one used toease overloading at peak hours.
Eachtrain is designed to carry between 944 and 1,124 passengers. The trainsare designed and manufactured by France's Alstom company.
Theproject's investment of about 30.1 trillion VND (1.29 billion USD) comes fromofficial development assistance of the French Development Agency and loans fromthe French Government.
Theurban railway line No 3, connecting Nhon area and the Hanoi Station, willrun through Nam Tu Liem, Bac Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Ba Dinh, Dong Da and HoanKiem districts.
