There was a train failure at MTR Tseung Kwan O Station this morning (5th). A train on the Tseung Kwan O Line heading to North Point encountered a mechanical failure when it was about to enter Tseung Kwan O Station. The safety protection device functioned and stopped the train a certain distance from the station.
Station staff led about 1,500 passengers to walk along the tunnel from the emergency exit ramp at the front of the train to the platform of Tseung Kwan O Station.
Passengers in the carriage involved in the incident posted on the Internet about what happened, and uploaded two pictures taken during the evacuation.
He said that at the time of the incident, "I felt a vibration, so I made an emergency stop when I followed." He described that the train was suspected to be blocked by foreign objects, more than it seemed to stop. Afterwards, the lights of the car involved in the accident were turned off, but the lights of other cars were still on. on.
He pointed out that he reached the Tseung Kwan O platform after walking about 10 meters on the rails. He was glad that the train had "slowed down" at that time, and said bluntly: "The train moves faster, it may be a big deal."

Passengers: "It must be different from usual" when the train suddenly brakes suddenly.
Mr. Xu, a passenger who was also on the train involved at the time, said that he got on the train at Cannes Station at around 8:25, and it belonged to the car near the front of the train.
He planned to go to Quarry Bay Station, but unexpectedly, the train suddenly stopped shortly after driving.
Mr. Xu described that the braking force was relatively strong this time. Although the passengers did not fall, it made everyone very embarrassed. "It must be different from usual."
He continued to point out that after the train stopped, the passengers still didn't see what happened, they just thought that there was a train jammed ahead, so they didn't drive.
It wasn't until about 9 o'clock that he saw MTR staff and police officers approaching the front of the train from the rear, and then there was a broadcast announcement, and he knew it was a malfunction of the train's components.
Under the arrangement of the staff, he was evacuated on the track.
