Delhi gets second set of Metro train

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI OCT. 15. Moving a step closer to the long awaited dream of Metro rail, the second set of Metro train for the Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) arrived in Delhi today from South Korea.

Each train set consists of four cars (coaches) comprising two driving cars and two trailer cars. Each coach has the capacity to carry 350 people. The first Metro train, which arrived on August 30, is already undergoing trials in which all the sub-systems are being thoroughly checked. The trial run for the first train was flagged off by the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, last month.
