The trains with passengers arrived at the station "Sokol". All the passengers were detrained and offered to go by overland transport, and after that empty trains left for depot.
It was found out later that the reason of the break of the traffic work was the fracture of two current collectors and the contact rail. As a result of this the voltage on the span "Teatralnaya" - "Tverskaya" was cut off since 10:55 till 12:12. At this time trains are running in usual conditions.
It was reported earlier that the traffic was stopped because of the breakage of one of the stocks and that`s why the train couldn`t move.
The previous incident in capital underground happened three days ago - last Monday. A woman fell on the rails on Sokolnichesky line and as the result the traffic work of electric trains was interrupted for 35 minutes. They couldn`t rescue that woman.
