Nice one! Welldone to lagos state!!,over to you now all other states in Nigeria. This is what the state governors should be building instead of airport that less than one percent of the population will use.Anambra need to build a rail from awka to onitsha,calabar need to build a rail to ogoja/Obudu,Edo need to connect train line to the warri ltakpe line in agbor and and 30km line from fugar into auchi town.Giving them a train service from benin city to auchi in the norther part of the state.Enugu need to build one too.delta need to connect ughelli to warri line and Asaba to agbor line and have a daily service from ughelli to warri to asaba.Nigerian governors are visionless if you ask me.😅Thank you mate!Cheers.
🎉 Weldone Lamgbo. Thank you so much for following up on this till this commercial test run. Red Line Metro have come alive. Congratulations to Lagos State government.
I love the interior, especially the hand rest,the chairs are more comfortable for your back than the plastic chairs you see in those filthy New York train,well done our awesome Governor.❤❤❤
Keep it up Gbolahon..You may not know it, You have become a strong voice on Lagos to the whole world. You and Ozed, you guys should meet and collaborate on how to take your game to the next level
Weldone my brother I am gbolahan God Almighty bless Lagos state government, this is great achievements, other state government should follow up, this is better than Airports that are not working after spending a lot of money like Ekiti state Airport
Weird seating configuration. Why are the seats so high? Blocks out natural light and sight lines. There may be temptation for younger passengers to stand on the seats to look out of the window due to their natural inquisitiveness. The aisle also looks pretty narrow partly due to the placing of the handrails. Any passengers with baggage may have a problem I think. But we still have to be grateful and I'm sure improvements will come and lessons learned.😊
@@Nurse_villathis trains are old trains and are the only available trains for purchase probably at a good buy as well. Building a new custom trains will take a long delivery time and LASG cannot be waiting so in the mean time this average refurbished trains serve as a stop gap. If u recall earlier this year Sanwolu met with a Chinese company in china to sign a deal to build some rollingstock (trains) to increase the number of trains both on blueline and railline corridors
@@roberthabakkuk7875 this is good investment for Lagos state governor officials because people barely ride the trains they have now so it's smart to get these trains they are still nice old or not they get you from point a to point b safely that's what matter the person riding the train can't take it home with them so it shouldn't matter how it looks
Excellent interior. These are luxury train cars indeed meant for first class travellers. If these seats are in every car it's simply marvelous and Lagosians will be commuting first class. Now living in New York City, with dirty antiquated trains, I envy Lagosians, at least for now. I don't know about how they will look tomorrow though. I don't want to sound pessimistic but I sincerely hope that maintenance is made front and center of this groundbreaking metro rail service in Lagos.
Are there elevators or escalators down to the platform? I could only see stairs. What of people with mobility issues like the elderly etc. How are they expected to manage. Do correct me if I'm wrong on this.
The red line construction is proving to be the fastest major project to be started to this stage in Nigerian history. Kudos to Lagos government 👏🏾. But the train ugly small
The blue line is electric powered, therefore it will be alot more quiet. Compared to the red line that is powered by diesel locomotives. Furthermore, since there are two different types of locomotives in the line, they will definitely have different sound levels. But I think you will probably hear them more when you're outside the train than when you're inside. Honestly I think the main advantage of these trains is the amount of people it will take off our roads.
This train is NOT made for City Mass transit. Having overhead luggage spaces, and upholstery seats (which are harder to maintain) instead of plastic seats. It should have been properly refitted. Anyways, it is what it is. 🤷🏾♂️
Good job. But you can see the silly officials and their security services watching as some people are crossing the rails when the Redline is on. Check the video clip, they should have made a good example of the people I am seeing crossing the rail lines.
Omo, this upholstery is a no no for Lagosians. They should have made it plastic like the blue line. If you know Nigerians, you go understand. Their children will mess it up and start pulling out the foam, writing on the chairs and start removing the head rest. It looks really beautiful but I don't think Lagos state is ready for the maintenance of this upholstery.
@HaleyChain-vw8rr The redline shares rail tracks from Agbado-Ebute Metta and the rail tracks belongs to Nigerian Railway Cooperation (NRC) which is being used for the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service. In other words the rail tracks were constructed by Federal government and there’s no provision for electricity for now maybe it can be incorporated in the future.
Further proof this cars are not for intrastate travels. They are too big, not made for major traffic or congestion. They will ware out before the blue line
Poorly fitted train interiors . It will be thrashed in a few days . the interior should have plastic chairs to withstand the wear and tear of Lagos large population. who reviewed the trains after they were ordered ? did that person ask for the train to be retrofitted for use in Lagos ? LAMATA should pay attention to this and start training local staff for retrofitting and maintaining train interiors - Its not rocket science and can be done in Lagos . Good job so far LAMATA !

You are welcome 🙏….
When will it commence full operation
Test-ride will be done for a couple of weeks after which it will start full passenger operations. For now, no date has been fixed.
I love the interior, especially the hand rest,the chairs are more comfortable for your back than the plastic chairs you see in those filthy New York train,well done our awesome Governor.❤❤❤
The interior looks so beautiful and modern

I have been waiting for your own update
Thank bro….

Wow, finally congratulations to all involved.
Beautiful! Simply beautiful!
Gbolahan you are doing well. God will bless your work
Amen 🙏….. Thank you!!!

Thanks my Fantastic Don for this lovely video,where are those agbado area boys that threatened me the other day
Are there elevators or escalators down to the platform? I could only see stairs. What of people with mobility issues like the elderly etc. How are they expected to manage. Do correct me if I'm wrong on this.
They are elevators and escalators on all the stations. You can watch the videos I did for the stations on my channel.
the locomotive is a british rail class 43
The red line construction is proving to be the fastest major project to be started to this stage in Nigerian history. Kudos to Lagos government 👏🏾. But the train ugly small
How does the Red Line train ride compare to the Blue Line with respect to noise, smoothness, speed, comfort, etc?
This is still a test ride, this comparison can be done when the redline starts commercial operations.
Good question but I have not experienced either of it so can only hope for people to share their experience while I wait to enjoy it

Wow see as I just dey smile like mumu
@@Iamgbolahan I will definitely be looking out for your comparison video.
Please how many train set is available currently?
No fencing of the rail tracks?
There is fencing at busy areas but not yet covered the full stretch.
Lagos state government is working on it , just the people don’t listen

If the person they arrest is from your region cry will start across social media. Let the train commence service people won't cross any how again

Me too Dey fear that one. Not to talk of people sweating heavily esp those wen nor dey baff.
Discipline is essential. Without discipline, nothing can work
These arent the permanent trains. Electrified ones to come in the future
That's what they said in the UK - we're still waiting, and now you have our secondhand High Speed Trains.
What happened to the Talgo train they purchased from United States meant to be for red line
Give us new upates on infastructures in Ibadan, thanks
I will definitely, tell me what project you will like to see in Ibadan.
iwo road interchange, ibadan metro, the new park,etc
Pls tour dugbe,bodiga and akobo for infastructures
Love the train but the leg space is so small.everywhere is looking tight
Good one but people working on the track. Need to be looked into
Why you say that
Why aint they using the talgo the ome from USA?
Both the talgo and GWR trains will be use.
The Talgo can be seen in the beginning of the Video, on the left side of your screen
At least your commentary is quieter
Where is ozed?😅😅😅
Ozed is fine bro, he was not able to meet up with the schedule trip.
Tosin, i sight u
They redesigned it.
No this a different train.
why does the red and blue have different rolling stock, ? this is a red flag
Blueline is EMU while redline is DMU. Blueline runs on electricity while the redline runs on diesel.
@@Iamgbolahan is there a reason why one is diesel ?
@HaleyChain-vw8rr The redline shares rail tracks from Agbado-Ebute Metta and the rail tracks belongs to Nigerian Railway Cooperation (NRC) which is being used for the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service. In other words the rail tracks were constructed by Federal government and there’s no provision for electricity for now maybe it can be incorporated in the future.
@@Iamgbolahan thank you.
@HaleyChain-vw8rr you are welcome!!!!
Who are these kids running on rail tracks? Dont they have parents?
china day future Nigeria Day Past.......chai
China and Japan have more infrastructure than the USA
It is what it is..
Lamgbolahan, why you dey talk like you don use gbanna? 😂😂😂
Sorry. My speed settings was on 0.75x 😂😂😂😂
No need to say sorry again you should have deleted the comment.
Further proof this cars are not for intrastate travels. They are too big, not made for major traffic or congestion. They will ware out before the blue line
Yeah, no secret..but LASG had to buy them cause they were cheap and available, so they remodeled the interior to accommodate more seats.
They too cheap, Lagos state got them for almost free, the Uk was ready to decommission them. Nothing wrong with getting them.
@@samsonakala it was not gotten from the UK. It was purchased from Milwaukee USA.
@RandomMZ1412 they are different set, this particular one is the GWR from Uk. The one from Milwaukee is different from the one in this video.
@@Iamgbolahan ok, wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks

No. There are many trains abroad fitted the same way. It makes it more comfortable for passengers.
those trains r ugly n old!
Another hater spotted. You can’t see good in anything
Those trains are just temporary. Soon, LAMATA will receive delivery of brand new trains
Your parents no get tired 😂😂😂
One of the obingos,,,omo ale

@iamgbolahan. This is awesome.
