TAIPEI, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation on Thursday morning announced that services on all of the island's high-speed railway lines stopped before 9:30 a.m. due to a signal error.
This was the first non-natural disaster to cause a massive halt on the high-speed rail lines since they were put into operation in 2007.
As of 9:30 a.m., 28 trains were delayed, according to the railway schedule.
Since it was put into operation, services on the island's high-speed rail lines have mostly only been disrupted by earthquakes, typhoons or other natural disasters. Previous mechanical malfunctions have resulted in minor service suspensions or delays.
