Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 20) — The Light Rail Transit Line 1 on Tuesday completed the first test run of its Cavite Extension Phase 1 project.
The Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) said the initial test featured second generation train sets that ran up to 4.5 kilometers per second.
“The train test run is part of the detailed and rigorous preparations to ensure that Phase 1 of the extension is completed by the last quarter of 2024,” LRMC said in a statement on Wednesday.
The first test run was conducted to check the compatibility of vital infrastructure components such as the train pantograph, overhead catenary system, train wheels, and rail tracks, the LRMC added.
The firm also said that further test runs are planned in the coming weeks.
