Passengers travelling between Hung Hom and Tuen Mun faced delays of 25 to 30 minutes on Thursday afternoon after a signalling fault at Kam Sheung Road station, Hong Kong’s rail operator has said.

The MTR Corporation said at around 2.23pm that the glitch had been repaired and train services on the Tuen Ma line were “gradually returning to normal”.

At around 1pm, the firm said it was repairing the faulty equipment near the tracks and urged passengers to allow extra time for their journeys.
