Incident
On 1 August 2025, some people said that at around 7:00 am on a train departing from East Nanhu station, a screen onboard did not display Line 5 route map and the station information in usual. Instead, it displayed the looped advertisements and Hangzhou MTR logo only on the screen in 12 minutes until it returned to normal at 7:12 am.[13]
