Driver training must have begun for some metro drivers to be doing tests :) And pelaw can be used. The network rail infrastructure with metro OHL has HSTs and AZUMAS using that. 1702909131 Few places on Cheswick Drive where you can catch a glimpse between the houses

The testing of the new trains versus the specification of the order is now mostly complete. This happened mostly at the factory and a test track in Europe. An extensive testing program and Drive training is now taking place with the new fleet on the actual network across our region. Nexus said...
