    What sort of compensation do people expect from train services failing, anyway? Surely it wouldn't be anything more than the cost of the journey itself, and around the approximate cost of a bag of chips.

    “Since the four lines are connected, the inconsistent re-initialisation situation led to repeated re-synchronisation causing instability in sector computers,” the report read.
    ...the difference between the two systems “were not known to the operators and maintainers, nor were they explicitly described in the Operation and Maintenance Manuals.”
    MTR installed the Alstom system in 1996 and the Siemens system in 2001. The two systems are synchronised through a software counter, and the counter needs to be reset when it reaches a ceiling figure.

    I really don't think that 8 million as a fine or as fare compensation is going to make the MTR Corporation blink.

    They're just paying the govt, who is already a major shareholder. Pointless...
