Bengaluru Metro is conducting trial run of Blue Line train at Byappanahalli depot

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Saturday conducted a trial run of a train on the trial track at Byappanahalli depot in preparation for the much-awaited Blue Line.

The test included checking the electrical systems, assessing the readiness of the rolling stock and identifying possible violations along the track. BMRCL is expected to move the testing to the main line soon. The official said testing will continue next week if workers are available after Deepavali.

Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) has manufactured a driverless train set for the Blue Line.

The Blue Line, comprising metro phases 2A and 2B, is a major infrastructure project connecting the city to the Kempegowda International Airport. The KR Puram–Airport section is 38.44 km long, while the KR Puram–Central Silk Board section covers 19.75 km.
