Halt in East-West Metro services
Commercial services of East-West Metro (Green Line) will be suspended in two four-day phases later this month to expedite the trial of the signalling system, the carrier said on Tuesday.
The 16.6km corridor is now functional between Salt Lake Sector V and Sealdah (Green Line 1) and between Howrah Maidan and Esplanade (Green Line 2). Both stretches will remain shut from February 13 to 16 and again from February 20 to 23.

On February 3, 1925, the first EMU rake (with 1.5kV DC traction) ran from erstwhile Victoria Terminus (now CSMT-Mumbai) to Coorla Harbour (now Kurla).
