Hong Kong's MTR launched a new signalling system on the Tsuen Wan line on Sunday, designed to improve automation and reliability. While the launch was largely smooth, some trains experienced minor misalignment issues with platform screen doors, requiring manual adjustments by drivers. The MTR Corporation deployed 200 staff to minimize passenger impact and address these isolated glitches. Passengers are advised to check for service updates, especially as the first weekday of operation approaches. The Tsuen Wan line is a crucial route connecting Central, Kowloon, and Tsuen Wan. The MTR will continue deploying additional staff to handle any potential issues.
