Four routes \u2014 <!-- -->Shyambazar-Esplanade<!-- -->, <!-- -->Ballygunge-Esplanade<!-- -->, Kidderpore-Esplanade and Tollygunge-Ballygunge \u2014 were supposed to be active. However, only one route \u2014 24\/29 (Tollygunge-Ballygunge) \u2014 is expected to be restored right now. Trial runs were conducted on June 12 and 13 by WBTC engineers. <br \/>Tram services will run from 7am to 8pm at intervals of 40 minutes and the number of passengers will not be allowed to exceed the seating capacity to maintain social distancing. Moreover, every coach will be sanitized before and after each shift. \u201cWe hope to restore all routes within a week,\u201d a WBTC engineer said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/kolkata\/tram-services-to-resume-from-tomorrow-on-1-route\/articleshow\/76365739.cms\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overhead wires in Ballygunge being repaired on Saturday KOLKATA: Tram services, which have remained closed since March, will resume on Monday.
