Signal failure strands thousands on Line 1 of Beijing subway
北京地铁1号线再次故障 乘客滞留
Line One of the Beijing Subway suffered another malfunction on Wednesday morning, stranding thousands of rush hour passengers.
At around 7:30 in the morning a signal failed at Bajiao Amusement Park station, forcing trains to lower their speed. Thousands of people heading to work were stranded inside and outside the stations. The problem lasted about half an hour, and normal service resumed around 8 in the morning.
Line One opened in 1969, making it the oldest subway line in China. It runs underneath Chang’an Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the capital.
