Question

Accepted Answer

No Damage to LRT Train or Infrastructure Reported Following Incident

The incident on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line yesterday evening did not result in any damage to the train involved or the surrounding infrastructure. Operations on the line continued as normal following the event.
External Wire Identified as Cause

Investigators determined that a thin, external wire, not part of the train or the railway system, became entangled with the power supply. This entanglement is believed to have caused a sound described as a "small explosion" at approximately 7:18 PM. The wire subsequently melted at the scene.
Train Safely Removed from Service

Train No. 57, which was heading towards Putra Heights and at Taman Jaya station when the incident occurred, was immediately taken out of service as a safety precaution. Passengers were safely disembarked at the subsequent station before continuing their journeys on a different train.
Infrastructure and Train Components Inspected

Initial inspections revealed no damage to the train or its components. Further checks on the track between Universiti and Taman Jaya stations also confirmed that the infrastructure remained in good condition and safe for continued operations. A more detailed inspection was conducted after service hours.
