At about 4 p.m. on the 4th, a train stalled at Tapseok Station on the Uijeongbu line.<\/p>\n

Transit staff evacuated riders from the train and worked to restore service; operations resumed at around 6:30 p.m. that day.<\/p>\n

The automated, driverless system requires a systemwide halt if a single train becomes disabled on the tracks for safety reasons, officials said.<\/p>\n

A Uijeongbu Light Rail representative said the incident stemmed from a mechanical fault on the train itself, not from an operational signal failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
