The Blue Line rail system from Marina to Mile 2 now runs on electricity, Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, said yesterday.

She stated this during the final test of the train running on electricity.

Mrs. Akinajo, an engineer; joined by the operator of the Marina to Mile 2 train services, consultants, the rail infrastructure contractor, Messrs. CCECC, and journalists rode on one of the train sets, while the second train running on the other track, from Marina to Mile 2 was back in less than one hour.

She said the successful completion of test was a dream come true for Lagos, adding: “Lagos has become an exemplar for other cities in Africa.”

The LAMATA chief said from today, the two train sets to be deployed would run 54 trips within an interval of 30 minutes, thus minimising the incidence of commuters rushing to enter the train.

She appealed to Lagosians using the corridor to avoid the temptation of walking on the tracks, warning that the tracks are electrified and trespassers will be electrocuted.

Mrs. Akinajo assured people of the safety and security of everyone using the system, saying there are over 300 CCTV along the corridor and in the stations through which any infraction can be detected and promptly taken care of.
