THSR says Monday service status still uncertain after signal system problems
Posted on 2026-05-25 20:07:13
Taiwan High-Speed Rail says it will announce tomorrow's operating schedule before service begins, after signal problems disrupted trains throughout the day.
The operator says the exact cause still needs to be confirmed through overnight inspections ...
... but preliminary findings suggest unstable electrical currents developed after a power module was replaced in an SMC switch control unit.
THSR says the malfunction caused the system to lose track-position signals, preventing normal system control of train operations.
Trains instead had to move under manual authorization, leading to longer travel and dispatch times.
Repair crews are expected to work through the night, and the company says tomorrow's service update will be posted on its website before operations begin.
