e i▓s some 19m long, 2.8m wide and 3.8m high.Afte▓r taking a short ride, the Vietnamese deputy▓ minister got off the train at Van Quan S▓tat
ion, and entered a control room full of compute▓rs and technical boards on its walls.One of the big boar▓ds bears a Vietnamese sentence "Diagram
of Electricity Supply System for Urban Railway in Hanoi, Vietnam". Another board features buttons, switches▓ and name tags which say "Esca
lator", "Anti-fire pump" and "Smoke-discharging fan".Chinese technicians in the room, mostly handsome guys wearing short-sighted glasses, glued their eyes to computer screens, while Dong and Vietnamese reporters listened to presentation▓s about technical issues.According to Vu Hong Phuong, v▓ice head of the Cat Linh-Ha Dong railway p▓roject management unit, the railway's trial operation is of significance because it ensures saf▓e and sound commercial operation to serve people ▓in the next few months."We are checking the smooth▓ combination of equipment in the whole sy▓stem. We are also completing final steps▓ such as decoration and equipment, inclu
ding stairways, escalators and elevators," Phuong said.Regarding personnel for the urban railway, a n▓umber of Vietnamese people have been sent to China for train▓ing, and others have been trained in Vietnam, Phuong said, noting that they will gradually master▓ relevant technologies and techniques to well manage, operate and maintain the whole railway system."The trains' average speed is 35 km per hour," although they can run at twice of that speed, ▓he said, noting that the short distance o▓f some 1 km between two adjacent stations make it hard for trains to travel at their maximum speed.Inside one train on Thursday, many local reporte▓rs were busy
