Train services on Hong Kong’s Tseung Kwan O Line resumed on Monday morning after an equipment fault on a train at Po Lam station disrupted rail operations, according to the MTR Corporation.

The city’s railway operator said in a statement that services were affected for over an hour from 6:55 am to 8:00 am.

During the disruption, train service between Hang Hau and Po Lam was suspended, while trains ran every 12 minutes between North Point and Hang Hau and every four minutes between North Point and LOHAS Park. Additional staff members were deployed to assist passengers at affected stations.
