SINGAPORE: The signalling system blamed for an MTR train collision in Hong Kong is one of many adaptations of Thales’ SelTrac system, a version of which is used on two of Singapore’s MRT lines, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday (Mar 18).
According to a South China Morning Post report on Monday, Hong Kong Federation of Railway Trade Unions chairman Lam Wai-keung said that the MTR trains crashed while running a system known as SelTrac, developed by Thales, a French company.
The crash brought services to a halt between the stations of Central and Admiralty, and the drivers of both trains were taken to hospital.
