MTR Lam Tin Station Suffers Two Service Disruptions Within 15 Hours; Experts Say They May Be Linked

MTR's Lam Tin Station experienced two rush-hour service disruptions within about 15 hours. Engineering experts said the incidents may be linked if both involved the same power supply circuit or reflected inadequate procedures. The first occurred on Tuesday evening, when an insulating rubber component of a track point caught fire, disrupting service for about one hour. A Legislative Council member has called on MTR to provide more targeted compensation to affected passengers.
