The first of 40 new EMU train sets, named Bay Dolphin of İZBAN, completed the trial runs and went on the line shortly before the schools were opened.

The first of the sets that started their tests in July 2014 in Izmir, came on the tracks on Saturday.

The completed sets will be put into operation immediately, so that the new set of 120 wagons from İZBAN, 40 will be installed. Every one of the Gulf trains is 70 meters long.
