These stations were closed following heavy rains in mid-April, which brought the UAE’s heaviest rainfall in 75 years. Initially, the RTA had planned to restore normal operations by May 28.
To ensure the highest standards and efficiency, the RTA conducted extensive operational tests. These included checking platform doors, lifts, escalators, and other facilities. Additionally, vital indicators of train power were tested to ensure smooth movement and accurate journey times between stations.
