Moving towards the final step towards operationalising the entire Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) began trial runs between New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan stations on Saturday.A Namo Bharat train was brought from New Ashok Nagar to Sarai Kale Khan on the down line at a minimal speed by the NCRTC team.As part of the trial, the Namo Bharat train was operated manually to test the compatibility of the signalling system. As the trials progress, the NCRTC will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess the integration and coordination of the train with various subsystems, including the track, platform screen doors (PSDs), and the overhead power supply system.advertisementIn the coming days, extensive trial runs, featuring high-speed tests, will also be carried out.

Constructing a 1.3 km-long bridge over the Yamuna to enable this crossing was a complex and challenging task, but the NCRTC overcame all challenges and completed the construction of this bridge as per the scheduled timelines.Supported by 32 pillars, about 626 metres of this bridge lies directly over the Yamuna and the remaining portion extends into the floodplain areas on both sides. This bridge has been built parallel to the existing DND Yamuna Bridge. Similarly, reaching Sarai Kale Khan station required the construction of a viaduct over the busy Barapullah flyover and Ring Road, another complex task successfully completed by NCRTC.advertisementThe section between New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan spans approximately 4.5 kilometres. Once operational, this stretch will enable a comfortable, reliable and fully air-conditioned Namo Bharat train service from Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut, offering seamless connectivity for commuters travelling to and from Meerut city. Recently, Overhead Equipment (OHE) was energised for the section between Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar stations.Sarai Kale Khan station is the originating point of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor. Work on the station’s facade, including the roof structure, is progressing rapidly. To facilitate commuter movement from the concourse to the platform levels, 12 escalators and four lifts have been installed and are ready for operations.Additionally, finishing work is also being carried out for the station’s five entry-exit points, where escalators and lifts have also been installed and are ready for operations. Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) have been installed on all platforms at Sarai Kale Khan.Sarai Kale Khan station is expected to be one of the busiest commuter transit hubs along the corridor. As an intersection of multiple public transport modes, it experiences high commuter footfall.
