“I am excited to announce that the twin talgo intra city ten coach Metropolitan trains for the project have arrived in Lagos!

“The Talgo trains purchased from Milwaukee, Wisconsin consist of two train sets of 21 cars projected to carry more than 1500 passengers per train set per direction when the first phase from Agbado to Ebute Meta launches for operation.

“As we progress towards our Quarter 1 2023 goal for the train service to come into operation, I am humbled by the grace that has allowed us to deliver this ground breaking red line project as we change the face of transportation in Lagos.”
