What happened

On September 22, 2026, a lightning strike damaged a catenary power wire near Antipolo Station. The Light Rail Transit Authority implemented a temporary limited service, allowing trains to run only between Recto Station and Araneta Center-Cubao Station. This followed a warning from PAGASA regarding expected moderate to heavy rain and lightning in the area.
