Trains on the Delhi Metro’s Grey line between Najafgfarh and Dhansa Bus Stand will operate on up and down lines with automated signalling system from November 25, 2022. As per a DMRC official, metro services on the grey line were being run through a single line on manual mode until now.
Metro services on this section will now be available with a headway of seven minutes 30 seconds during peak hours (from the current 12 minutes) and 12 minutes (from the current 15 minutes) during off-peak hours, a senior Delhi Metro official said.
Moreover, with the commencement of the double-line movement, the run-time on Delhi Metro’s Grey line from Dwarka to Dhansa Bus Stand will significantly reduce by nearly four minutes and will be around eight minutes. Earlier in November 2022, the DMRC introduced its first-ever set of two eight-coach trains on the Red Line between Rithala and Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda.
