The causes and conditions leading to the train collision at Joo Koon in late 2017 are completely different from what led to Monday's collision between two Hong Kong MTR trains, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

SINGAPORE - The causes and conditions leading to the train collision at Joo Koon in late 2017 are completely different from what led to Monday's collision between two Hong Kong MTR trains, said the Land Transport Authority .

A train heading to Central station derailed at around 3am on Monday when the line was closed to the public, and hit the third and fourth compartments of another train going in the opposite direction. Initial reports indicate that the issue is linked to a software problem with the Tsuen Wan line's new signalling system during the testing phase, Mr Chua noted.
