Test drive on the Metro during the autumn holidays

Posted: 9. oktober 2020
Newly purchased trains will be tested on metro lines M1 and M2 before they can enter normal operation in 2021. During the autumn holidays, test runs will take place from Sunday to Friday from 9pm to 5am, with metro buses being used instead.

Eight new trains have been purchased to increase capacity on the M1 and M2. The new trains will enter service during 2021, but first the new trains must be test run.

Recently, test runs have been carried out on the M1 from Vestamager to DR Byen, but during the autumn holidays, a larger test run programme for the entire system will be carried out on the M1 and M2 lines, which will be completely shut down from Sunday 11 October to Friday 16 October from 21:00-05:00. Instead, metro buses will be deployed.
