It is mostly the wayside equipment being defective (i.e. PSS markers not working). However, the traction power stations are in need of serious upgrades. I believe a 7K got stuck in tunnel recently because of loss of power. I suspect the third rail in that area was well below minimum voltage required for the onboard equipment to be able to operate. |
