First two metro trains arrive in Dubai

First two trains for Dubai Metro have arrived in Dubai from Japan, Gulf News has learnt

The trains have been off-loaded from the ship at Dubai’s Port Rashid and have been moved to storage areas.

“We have achieved a crucial milestone for Dubai Metro Project with the arrival of first two trains on schedule,” said Adnan Ahmed Al Hammadi, Director of Rail Project Construction Department at the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)

He told Gulf News that the trains will be used for the trail run which is set to start in late April this year on the test track between the Jebel Ali Industrial Station and the Ibn-e-Battuta Station on Shaikh Zayed Road.

“More consignments of trains will start arriving in June after we complete at least two months of trail run to check trains,” he said.
