Kolkata Metro Green Line Services Adjusted for CBTC System Testing
Imagine your train is getting a new, super-smart brain to help it run better and safer!
Kolkata Metro is installing this new system called CBTC on its Green Line.
To put it in, they need to turn off the trains a bit early on November 9th.
So, the last trains will leave their stations an hour sooner than usual.
This is like giving your toy a tune-up to make sure it works perfectly!
Kolkata Metro's Green Line will end services one hour early on November 9.
The early closure is to facilitate testing of the Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) system.
The CBTC system aims to improve the safety and smoothness of train operations.
The last train from Howrah Maidan to Salt Lake Sector V will depart at 8:45 PM.
The last train from Salt Lake Sector V to Howrah Maidan will depart at 8:47 PM.
