MANILA, PHILIPPINES: OPERATIONS of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) on EDSA stalled anew on Thursday after a "cut power source" stopped a train at the Kamuning station in Quezon City, a spokesman for the MRT said.
In an interview on GMA Network’s radio station dzBB, Mariano Gui said there was a small "explosion" before the power cable snapped.
As a result, northbound and southbound trains carried passengers only between the Shaw station in Mandaluyong and the Taft station in Pasay City, or about half of the entire stretch of the MRT, Gui said.
The spokesman could not immediately explain why the cable snapped. A similar incident stalled an MRT train near the Guadalupe station in June.
