Hanoi's second metro line performed a test run on autopilot Monday at the maximum designed speed of 80 kph to evaluate the synchronicity between different systems.

At 10:30 a.m., the train on the Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station line left the depot for the S1 Station that is located in front of the Hanoi University of Industry, to begin its test run.

It then ran from the S1 Station to the S8 Station (Nhon-Cau Giay), about 8.5 km apart, stopping at each station for a few minutes.
