On this day, 9 members from MTREC representing Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China, and France participated in an educational visit to LRT Jakarta's Pegangsaan Dua Depot to gain a better understanding of the operation and maintenance of the LRT Jakarta system.
Our visit began at Velodrome Station, where we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Febby from the LRT Jakarta team Corporate Comms division. The program commenced with a brief introduction to LRT Jakarta by Mr. Kevin, followed with a walkaround of the station.
During the session, the team also shared updates on the upcoming Velodrome Manggarai extension, which is currently in final phases of testing and is expected to open soon.
Following the introduction, participants boarded an LRT Jakarta train to Pegangsaan Dua Station. Throughout the ride, members had the opportunity to engage in discussions with the LRT Jakarta team.
Upon arrival, a group photo was taken at the platform before the visit continued to the depot. At the depot, all participants were equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
The depot tour was led by Mr. Abe and Mr. Yuki from Rolling Stock Engineering, who provided detailed explanations on the various maintenance activities carried out to ensure the reliability and safety of LRT Jakarta's rolling stock.
The workshop tour began at the light maintenance area, where participants learned about the routine inspection of LRT trains. The group was then invited onboard a train to observe its safety features as well as the driver's cab.
The visit continued with an introduction to the depot's diesel-hydraulic maintenance locomotive equipped with a crane for engineering works. After that, the group was guided through the heavy maintenance area, where overhaul works are carried out on the fleet.
After completing the workshop tour, participants were served light refreshments at the depot and had the opportunity to continue informal discussions with the LRT Jakarta team.
To conclude the visit, MTREC presented a token of appreciation to the LRT Jakarta team at Pegangsaan Dua Station. We extend our sincere gratitude to LRT Jakarta and all personnel involved for their warm hospitality and for making this visit a success.
This educational visit to LRT Jakarta Pegangsaan Dua Depot shows a success in our group for collaborating with train enthusiasts from different countries. As MTREC's first overseas visit, this represents an important milestone in our efforts to support international railway engagement. We look forward to organising more educational visits in the future.
