The Minister of Railways Development, John Peter Amewu has disclosed that the recently imported train from Poland, involved in an accident during a self-acceptance test, will be operationalised by the second week of June, as the government expects new parts for repairs soon.
During a test run, the train, which was intended for operation on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line, collided with a stationary track, raising concerns about its readiness for service.
The incident resulted in the arrest and subsequent sentencing of the driver of the Hyundai truck involved in the collision to six months in jail.
In an interview with the media, Peter Amewu disclosed that engineers are diligently working on repairing the damaged train.
He explained that efforts are underway to ensure the train’s functionality and safety before commissioning it for service.
