Stranded passengers finally make way home

GUANGZHOU: More than 10,000 passengers were finally able to take the high-speed train between Guangzhou and Wuhan on Saturday night after they were stranded at the Guangzhou south station for two hours because of an equipment error.

The error, which happened in Shaoguan, Guangdong province, on Saturday afternoon, delayed nine trains from Guangzhou south station, which went into operation late last month, along with the high-speed railway, which opened to traffic in December.

Some stranded passengers were directed to the arrival hall on the first floor, where no seating was installed.
