SouthWest Metro completes trials amid opening date mystery
The SouthWest Metro line has completed trial running after nearly 6000 hours of testing and 130 operational scenarios, including emergency evacuations and fire response drills. Final checks are now underway before the National Safety Regulator provides sign-off, though the government has not revealed an opening date for passengers. Testing has included mechanical gap fillers, timetable operations, and system responses to trespassers, with ibis birds proving to be unexpected intruders in the rail corridor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
