Phase 2
Phase 2 of Xi'an Metro Line 3 is still in long-term planning [1](to be completed by year 2040), it will be an extension from the southwest terminus of Phase 1, Yuhuazhai Station to (tentatively named) Kunmingchi Station. After the completion of Phase 2, Line 3 will have 30 stations (an addition of 4 to Phase 1) and a length of 50.5 km in total.[1]
Rolling Stock
The rolling stock consists solely of CNR DKZ17 trains manufactured by CNR Dalian, 41 trainsets will be provided as per the first contract.[5] The trains run in six-car formation, with four motor cars and two trailer cars, which is different from previous trains (running in 3-3 formation), as more power is required to drive the trains up the ramp from underground to overground sections.[5]
