JOHOR BAHRU: Train Set 02, the first train set for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project, arrived at the Wadi Hana Depot yesterday and is scheduled to undergo multiple tests, including a decoupling exercise starting Sunday (Nov 16).
RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) chief executive officer Dr. Ahmad Marzuki Ariffin saidĀ this would be followed by static testsĀ to ensure all systemsĀ were in proper working orderĀ prior to the threeĀ phases of dynamic testing.
He said the dynamic tests would run from the depot to Bukit Chagar Station and across the international border to Woodlands North Station in Singapore before heading backĀ to the depot to assess operational performance in actual conditions.
“Through these three dynamic tests, the train will run at low speed, and testing will take place under actual operational conditions on the mainline,ā he told Bernama.
He added thatĀ the main tests to be carried out would cover the signalling system, communication system, and train performance on actual tracks, ensuring all systems operated smoothly and safely.
