Hong Kong’s railway operator said trains had resumed normal service after a small group of anti-government protesters disrupted the city’s notoriously busy morning rush, stranding crowds of commuters on platforms at a main station.
Trains on the Island Line, which cuts through the the city’s financial center, had returned to their regular schedule, the MTR Corp., Hong Kong’s urban rail operator, said in a statement Wednesday. Earlier, the company had warned that travel times were extended by 10-15 minutes due to “a number of train door obstruction incidents.”
