Bengaluru: Two More Driverless Coaches For Namma Metro's Yellow Line Dispatched From Bengal
Last Updated: Titagarh Rail speeds up delivery of new coaches as Bengaluru inches closer to the Yellow Line's grand August launch. Two more coaches for the Namma Metro's Yellow Line were dispatched on Monday night by Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL), based in Bengal. These are part of the fourth trainset for the 19.15-km RV Road–Bommasandra stretch. Four more coaches are ready and set to leave on Tuesday. Together, all six coaches will form a complete driverless train. As per Deccan Herald, the dispatch had a slight hiccup due to heavy rainfall in Kolkata. Originally, three coaches were supposed to leave on Monday night, but only two made the journey. When Will the Trainset Reach Bengaluru? The trainset is expected to arrive in Bengaluru within the next two weeks. However, its journey depends on road conditions and traffic, since the coaches are transported on trailers with strict size and speed limits. Once it arrives, the trainset will undergo a two-week testing phase on the Yellow Line before it begins passenger service. Is the Yellow Line Finally Opening? BMRCL is preparing to open the much-awaited Yellow Line in August. The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety recently inspected the corridor, and his report is due any day now. The line is likely to open with three trains running every 20 minutes—regardless of peak hours. TRSL is building trains under a sub-contract with China's CRRC Nanjing Puzhen, who secured a Rs 1,578 crore deal for 36 trainsets. Of these, 15 are for the Yellow Line. BMRCL has already received four trains. The fifth trainset is scheduled for dispatch in August, and the sixth will follow by September. All 15 Yellow Line trains are expected to arrive by March 2026. Once that happens, the wait time during peak hours could drop to just five minutes. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
