Railway breakdowns prompt investigationVietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has asked concerned organisations to investigate two consecutive breakdowns in which a train was derailed twice at Yen Vien Railway Station on the Ha Noi-Lao Cai railway route last Sunday and Monday. It must collaborate with the Viet Nam Railway Authority to uncover the reasons for the breakdowns and make necessary improvements. The VNR should supervise the work of railway workers who are on duty, train drivers and railway guards to ensure railway traffic order and safety. The Viet Nam Railway Authority must give instructions to railway inspectors and the police to properly punish any violations in the railway sector, and give detailed measures to prevent further breakdowns. On Monday, the SP2 Train derailed while travelling to Yen Vien Railway Station in Ha Noi’s Gia Lam District at a speed of 15kph.
