MANILA, Philippines — Train service of the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3) was limited between North Avenue and Shaw Boulevard for about an hour on Monday morning due to a technical problem at its Guadalupe station.

The MRT-3 management said limited operations began at about 5 a.m. to give way to repairs.

“MRT-3 is currently implementing a provisional service from North Avenue to Shaw Boulevard due to a technical problem on the Overhead Catenary System power at Guadalupe station up to the tunnel. Troubleshooting is ongoing,” the management said in an advisory.

The problem was fixed and provisional service was lifted at 5:55 a.m.

“We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you,” the management added. /cbb
