New Electric Train

[RT Gooch]

Good afternoon. RT here.

I see that the electric train is finally up and is in its testing period.

If it proves to be half as convenient as the Metro buses, that would be awesome.

Can someone point to a website that gives route maps, please? Gracias.

Can someone point to a website that gives route maps, please?

somewhat interactive map - Conozca la ruta del tren eléctrico de Lima | RPP NOTICIAS

also, wikipedia has a nice write up, a simple line map, and the proposed future network - Metro de Lima - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

This is the website of the operator "Consorcio Tren Electrico": Consorcio Tren Electrico Lima

Here is the map of the route and the stations:

It is not the best of maps but it is the 0nly one I've found so far,

Here is a link to a more detailed map: http://www.consorciotrenelectrico.com.pe/estaciones.html

And here is the map of the opium dream... er... I meant the whole project:

I hope it helps.

Thanks, guys.

So, if I understand this correctly, the green stations are open & running, and the red ones are coming soon?

 

[Jack Jericho]

No, The green zone is the older train already built years ago and the red zone ia the new train built by the consortium. The whole line (red plus green) will become operative.

There will be first some stations operative but all the others will become operative within the first week.

Here is another, slightly better, map. The stations in green are the ones already operative, all the rest will become operative, supposedly, next week.

On Monday they shut the system down again for a malfunction in the electric cables. Who knows when they will ever get it up and running again. Thwy have been testing now for many months and again more problems.

Hello there. RT here.

How has the train been running? With the introduction of the Metro bus, and now the train, getting around is much quicker and less annoying.

Any updates would be appreciated. Thanks.

Seems they have an actual website up and running for "Linea 1" ...

A good sign I'd say.....

Looks like the hours run from 0600 - 2200 .. (last train leaving Grau towards Via El Sal.)

s/ 1.5 adults

Even has some video's posted on youtube ... Lineaunope's Channel - YouTube

It just might be useful for a quick trip downtown ...
