A suspension of MTR train service between Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations in Hong Kong lasted until Tuesday night as staff raced to fix a power outage caused by a technical fault with overhead line equipment.
The MTR Corporation announced the suspension on the Disneyland Resort line at about 8.30am on Tuesday.
“Based on past experience, we expect it will take more than two hours to handle this incident,” the rail giant had said initially. “MTR staff are carrying out repair work. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
A free MTR shuttle bus service was arranged for commuters between both stations, with rides every 10 minutes to 12 minutes.
A spokesman later said more time was needed for repair work and to replace the equipment. “The service disruption might take longer than expected.”

At about 7.50pm, the MTR Corp said train services had resumed but commuters should expect to wait an extra three minutes per train.
On March 18, rail services on the Kwun Tong line were delayed for about an hour during the morning peak period because of a faulty overhead cable near Yau Ma Tei station.
Last year the MTR Corp reported 16 delays lasting 31 minutes or more and attributable to factors within the company’s control on its rail network.
In December last year, a pair of carriage doors fell off a moving train as it approached a platform at Causeway Bay station in the afternoon, delaying thousands of commuters on the Island line. The route was shut down for about three hours resulting in a knock-on effect on roads as people scrambled for alternative transport.
An investigation report said in January an outward-leaning panel of a trackside billboard had hit and dislodged the pair of doors, pointing out that the incident was caused by a lack of employee oversight with no preventive billboard maintenance by the rail giant.
