Trains run at a slow speed of 25-30 kmph

For the second day in a row, Chennai Metro Rail had problems in the signalling system on Wednesday morning, delaying the journey of hundreds of commuters.

Around 8.30 a.m., onwards for nearly an hour, the trains were running slowly at a speed of about 25-30 kmph and with a delay of nearly 20-25 minutes, sources said.

In some places, the trains stopped for a few minutes due to signalling issues. The tele connectivity to the customer care number 18604251515 was also poor.

According to CMRL sources, the problem was solved around 9.30 a.m. But there was a consequential delay of trains for nearly an hour.

On Tuesday night, the same problem occurred and so train services were hit causing inconvenience to passengers. Three days ago, the services had to be stopped for sometime and the train announcements and display of train timings too were disrupted due to signalling issues.
