Lagos’ train lines to begin in 4th quarter — Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu said that the just acquired two high-speed trains by the State government will be in use by the fourth quarter of 2022.

The governor revealed this on Friday during an interview on Sunrise Daily, Channels Television, where he outlined efforts being made by his administration to address the gridlock on Lagos roads.

According to him, “the trains will be on track by the fourth quarter; the terminal stations will be ready by the fourth quarter.”

He disclosed that Lagosians would be actively moving with trains by the fourth quarter of this year. If we don’t bring passengers on, it will be for security reasons.

“It will probably be things around communication that we are trying to test, things around operational training.”

Recall that earlier this week, the state government announced that it had acquired two new sets of 10 cars Talgo 330kmph trains for its Red Line rail project, as part of efforts to improve traffic management and transportation.

Sanwo-Olu completed the acquisition deal of the two new speed trains on January 18 at an event held inside the Milwaukee facilities of Spanish train manufacturer, Talgo Incorporated in the United States.
