The new "Finist" train first ran on the Ufa – Beloretsk route on August 10 this year. But the first trip did not go smoothly.
A technical breakdown occurred at Inzer station. The train doors turned out to be faulty and blocked. Passengers could not leave the cars.
The doors closed, but could not open - everyone who left could not get inside and vice versa. We stood waiting for ten minutes at first, then everyone was finally let in, but later they announced that we would be transferred.
The train was scheduled to arrive in Ufa at 21:00. But due to the long wait for replacement transport, passengers only reached the final destination after midnight.
The press service of the Kuibyshev Railway explained that malfunctions in the electrical equipment were detected in the train. The malfunctions are being eliminated.
On August 11, a modern and comfortable EP2D electric train set off on a trip. Currently, specialists from the manufacturing plant are working to eliminate the malfunction, and a set of measures is also being carried out to prevent such incidents in the future.
The next "Finist" train is scheduled for the weekend of August 17-18 this year. It will travel along the same route.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the ES104 "Finist" electric train was launched in the Perm Territory.
