Regarding the allegations in question;
• At 18.30, a temporary malfunction occurred at the switches in the Polatlı region, which separates Ankara from Konya, due to the energy fluctuation caused by the city network.
• The high-speed train departing from Eskişehir at 18.10 was maneuvered at the Polatlı road junction in order not to wait at the broken switches, and therefore a delay of 12 minutes was experienced at the trip.
• With the intervention of the maintenance units in the field, the malfunction was resolved at 19.00.
• Since the operation is completely under the control of the YHT Traffic Management Center and with a signaling system, no accident hazard has occurred.
