High-Speed Rail Hiccup: Taiwan High Speed Rail Driver's Errors Lead to Unexpected Stop

Unprecedented Incident on Taiwan High Speed Rail: Driver's Errors Cause Delays and Investigations.

An unusual situation occurred on Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) on the morning of the 14th of this month, as the 204th train experienced its first "non-stop" event in its 18-year history. Upon arriving at Banqiao Station, the train departed without opening the car doors, causing delays for over 150 passengers.

Reports suggest that the driver was taken for a drug test following the incident, and is alleged to have made two significant operational errors. However, THSR has not confirmed these details, stating that the investigation, review, and improvement of related measures are still ongoing.

According to reports from China Times News, the driver was required to undergo a urine test and preliminary questioning after reaching Nangang Station. It is understood that the driver's two major mistakes resulted in this unusual event.
