An errant train that wandered off railroad sidings near Tsing Yi station knocked out the entire Airport Express line and a key section of the Tung Chung line for more than half an hour on Sunday morning.

The MTR said the train wasn't carrying any passengers, but had failed to stop where it was supposed to, and had thus affected services on both lines.

However, the railway said the train was removed from the main track at around 11am, and services were gradually resuming on both lines.

For more than half an hour, the Airport Express was completely halted, while there were no services between Tsing Yi and Sunny Bay stations on the Tung Chung line.
