Then this stations can hold six coach stations in the future when station length is 215 meters!
I mean six coach trains
Coaches are typically 22m long, so these can accommodate up to 8 coaches in EMUs of 2 🙂
Ultimate capacity depends on the elevated stations’ length, which I’m unsure of.
Yes that’s not known as yet
Hello, I’m from Kanpur… I’m confused between this tender….. There is phoolbagh station situated between bada chauraha to naya ganj but in tender not mention Phoolbagh station….. Please clarify
What about phoolbagh metro station?? Where is phoolbagh metro station..?? phoolbagh comes first not nayaganj if one is going from bada chauraha side towards Kanpur central?? Big mistake.. they have skipped
I want job.
