The maintenance is broken up into parts: the under-frame, the interiors and the roof. We also do active, preventive maintenance," says an official.
The basic check is done every day at the depot. If a problem is detected, it goes into the IBL or the workshop, depending on the snag. If the train is going into revenue service without any major maintenance being planned, it only goes through a routine cleaning.
If a thorough cleaning is scheduled —which is done every three days—then it will go through the automated washing process. The schedule is rigorous, say Delhi Metro officials. In the basic mode, safety features of the under-frame, horn, wipers, headlights and announcement systems are checked.
After every 15 days, cleaning and measurement of the roof, the under-frame and interior features is the norm. The day maintenance schedule includes cleaning, measurement, monitoring and part over-hauling.
The rest of the activities like replacement of oils are scheduled in the later maintenance. The annual schedule is the most exhaustive, as by that time, the train has travelled more than a lakh kilometres. Maintenance of the wheels and the brakes is an important part of the schedule. The train is divided into the motor car and the driving trailer, both of which form a unit. The wheels on the DT need to be changed every eight-nine months while those of the motor car last months.
Similarly, the brakes on the DT need to be changed every 45 days while those on the motor car last five months.

Subways and light rail already produce fewer greenhouse gases per passenger mile than most cars — and should improve as more wind, solar and geothermal power plants come online.
Also, electricity as a power source is generally quite reliable, both in terms of supply and in terms of subway and light-rail performance. But it does have its weaknesses. While the third rail on subway track is installed in a protected environment inside the subway tunnel, light rail can be subject to weather. Light-rail cars are linked to the power source via catenary wires installed overhead 12 to 16 feet above ground. Catenary, for those of you who took and remember physics, is the curve assumed by a cord or chain — or even a spider web — that hangs freely between two fixed points.
But back to the weather issue. Remember the massive storm of January, that tipped a tree onto the Gold Line catenary lines in South Pasadena? The line was closed for hours while a bus bridge ferried passengers around the spot where electricity was shut down. South Pasadena is a perfect example of what happens when the power is cut off … although in that case a tree was also blocking the tracks. Blues Point temporary tunnel access site.
