The Southern Railway will hold an internal inquiry into the incident in which the Vande Bharat train from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram was halted for around one-and-a-half hours at the Kannur station on Monday after the overhead electric lines tripped.
The Southern Railway will hold an internal probe to ascertain the cause of the incident and to prevent the recurrence of the same. The fail-safe system of the train will automatically apply brakes if something stops working.
When the overhead electric lines tripped, the auxiliary control unit (ACU) in the train was turned on to auto mode, applying the brakes, and later it took around one-and-a-half hours for engineers to reset it manually.
