Koyambedu-Alandur line will become operational by the end of October. The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is all set to begin service between Little Mount and Chennai Airport by mid-2015. The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has decided to hold trial run on the nine-km stretch by January and start service by mid-2015.
While the structural work on the airport station was completed, the construction of other stations along the alignment was in progress. Preparations were on to start operation between Koyambedu and Alandur by the end of October. Apart from the trial run of trains through day and night, there were separate trials for signaling work as well, the official said. In mid-August, there would be integration tests along this stretch where the functioning of telecommunications, rolling stock (trains) and signaling would be simultaneously checked.
