The MTR’s Kwun Tong line saw an incident involving the opening of the doors of a moving train prior to it fully reaching the station platform. The captain soon noticed, however, and immediately closed the doors, allowing the train to restart and arrive at the correct position on the platform. The incident led to train services on the Kwun Tong line being suspended for a while, said the MTR. The incident caused no injury, with the cause determined to be human error after an initial investigation by the MTR company. Further investigation by the MTR is ongoing, with the Train Operations Control Center announcing a recall of the train for inspection while the train captain involved has been temporarily reassigned to another position.
