Notification of XRL issues expected


The Government has asked the Mass Transit Railway Corporation to inform the public of any concerning issues regarding the Hong Kong part of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link.

 

Secretary for Transport & Housing Frank Chan made the statement to the media after attending today's Legislative Council meeting.

 

During the XRL's trial runs, water seepage was found at a section in the tunnel which affected the railway signalling system.

 

Mr Chan said the MTRC informed the Government immediately after the discovery.

 

The issue is being investigated.

He added the test runs are to find flaws in the system to improve its operation.
