 "Passengers walk on tracks, vent on Twitter after Delhi Metro Blue Line stalls due to broken wire")
New Delhi: Delhi Metro commuters had a harrowing time on Wednesday as an overhead wire snapped at Yamuna Bank station during the evening peak hours, forcing passengers to cross the tracks after having to open the emergency doors. The incident happened around 6.15 pm as the train came to an abrupt halt while approaching the station from the Lakhsmi Nagar side. [caption id=“attachment_2334130” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Stranded passengers at Yamuna Bank station. Twitter @kumkumsharma[/caption] Services went haywire on Blue Line, one of the busiest corridors, as trains stopped at various stations across the entire corridor due to a cascading effect. “During Over Head Electrification (OHE) repair one of the trains approaching Yamuna Bank from Laxmi Nagar got held up mid section and passengers opened the emergency doors,” Delhi Metro said in a statement. It claimed there was further delay in carrying out repair work due to this and services are “running normally” between Noida and Dwarka section. However, overcrowded trains resulted in further delay as the automated gates took time to shut which is essential for a metro to start running. The disruption caused quite a stir on social media with frustrated passengers took to social media to vent out their frustration and talk about their harrowing experience-
What's wrong with Delhi Metro today? All Vaishali trains being diverted to Noida! Massive crowd and chaos at Yamuna Bank.
