Operations of the LRT Line 2 will be limited from Santolan to Cubao Stations and vice versa starting 4:30 a.m., according to the Light Rail Transit Authority.
In an advisory Sunday, the LRTA said that the downgraded operations will give way to the ongoing repair of the power cables, signaling and telecommunications fiber optics system that were damaged by Saturday night’s fire.
It said that a fire broke out at 9:57 p.m. near the Pureza station due to a burnt junction box of the overhead catenary wire that supply 1,500 volts DC to the train.
“The exposed cables were possibly affected by the downpour and lightning that cascaded to the junction box,” the advisory added.
Maintenance Team is working double time to restore full operations the soonest possible time, it said.
