The train Cat Linh – Ha Dong stopped suddenly in the middle of a storm, not a sudden rehearsal incident
Confirming the incident, General Director of Hanoi Railway Company Limited (Metro Hanoi) Vu Hong Truong said that this morning as well as yesterday afternoon, a number of metro trains suddenly stopped in the middle of the road when operating on rails.
Explaining the cause of this incident, Truong said that in normal weather conditions, the Cat Linh – Ha Dong metro train operates in automatic driving mode. Train drivers are only in charge of opening/closing doors when arriving at stations and handling unusual situations.
However, when it rains, the slippery track will cause the system to automatically “stop at the wrong station”, so train drivers have reported asking for orders to switch to a safer manual driving mode.

“The conversion time only takes about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the operating skills of each train driver. However, Hanoi metro is also subjective, so it does not broadcast loudspeakers to notify passengers. understanding customers. Metro Hanoi always accepts all comments to serve passengers safer and better.” – Mr. Truong said and affirmed that the incident was not “a sudden rehearsal incident”.
According to Mr. Truong, as soon as he received the report requesting the order to switch from automatic to manual driving to ensure safety in the rain, thunderstorms and slippery railway tracks, he approved the order.
“The approval order is applied on the whole line, all trains in operation will switch from automatic driving mode to manual driving, so some trains will arrive at the station, some trains will not arrive in time.”– Mr. Truong explained.
