Direct service on the Baku Metro line between Hazi Aslanov and Icherisheher has resumed.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that shuttle service on the Hazi Aslanov-Ahmadli section has consequently been discontinued.
Before the dead-end tracks were put into service, their clearance dimensions were checked using a maintenance train in line with technical requirements, and test runs were conducted under high voltage. The checks confirmed the safety of train movements, the reliability of the power supply and the continuity of centralized control of engineering, technical and communications systems. The facility, which meets all standards, was accepted for operation.
Shuttle service on the Hazi Aslanov-Ahmadli section has therefore ended, and trains have resumed their previous service pattern on the Hazi Aslanov-Icherisheher route. On the Red Line, trains run every two minutes during peak hours and every two minutes and 30 seconds at other times.
Train movements on Baku Metro’s Red and Green lines were adjusted from November 30, 2024, due to major repairs and reconstruction at the dead-end tracks of Hazi Aslanov station. From that date, trains ran from Icherisheher and Darnagul stations as far as Ahmadli station, while a separate shuttle service operated on the Hazi Aslanov-Ahmadli section.
The track dead-end, built between 1981 and 1987, underwent comprehensive reconstruction after its insulation layer failed during more than 20 years of operation due to groundwater and erosion.
The project is being implemented by Baku Metro under the 2025-2030 State Program and is intended to modernize metro infrastructure and improve passenger safety.
