台鐵彰化車站今天(26日)下午發生一起驚險列車故障事件!台鐵第123次自強號列車駛入彰化站後,站務人員與司機員突然發現機車頭車下竄出異常濃煙,為確保全車旅客行車安全,台鐵第一時間緊急宣布清車,並迅速調派備用車輛編組進行接駁全車旅客,所幸未造成任何人員傷亡,竄煙原因由台鐵釐清中。
這班123次自強號今天下午2點多準點抵達彰化站時,底盤突然飄出異常煙霧,一度引起等待換乘旅客關注。台鐵公司隨後證實,列車抵站後確實發現機車車下有異常冒煙現象,現場人員立即啟動緊急應變機制,引導車上旅客下車,並安排備用列車編組接替後續行駛任務。替駛列車已於下午3時48分順利自彰化站開出,將對旅客行程的影響降至最低。不過仍引發部分旅客不滿,把影片PO網。
針對這起突發的列車冒煙事件,台鐵公司晚間表達歉意,並表示已要求車輛保養段成立專責小組,將對該輛機車頭進行全面檢測,務必確實找出冒煙原因並加強維修改善,避免類似狀況再次發生。
此外,台鐵也公布相關退票與補償措施,受影響的123次旅客,可持票改搭乘125次自強號或區間車。若最終到達訖站時間較原123次表定時間晚點達45分鐘以上,旅客可辦理全額退費;若改乘125次導致無座位、且晚點未達45分鐘,則可退還自強號與區間車之票價差額,維護搭乘民眾權益。

Due to the unsatisfactory land acquisition and the incomplete relocation of the demolished households, the opening date of Taoyuan Airport's third runway has been postponed from 2030 to December 2033 after the completion of operational tests. The third terminal is expected to be completed and opened by the end of next year.

Kaohsiung Xiaogang International Airport will add a three-dimensional parking lot and parking space on the east side by the end of next year. The second and fourth phases of the terminal project are planned to be completed by 2040, which will increase the annual international passenger capacity to 14.9 million passengers. The Kaohsiung City Government and citizens continue to call for the lifting of the curfew to support long-haul flights and cargo demand in the science and technology park. However, the Civil Aviation Administration maintains the curfew on the grounds of maintaining the quality of life of surrounding residents, and points out that the construction of new airports needs to consider environmental protection, international norms and sustainability, and requires long-term wind direction assessment.

Taichung International Airport has been hampered in its expansion due to restrictions on military-civilian use. The existing facilities are unable to cope with the huge increase in the number of passengers. There are more than 30 international routes and the annual traffic volume is estimated to exceed 3 million passengers. However, there are only two luggage carousels and parking is difficult. Legislators He Xinchun, Jiang Qichen, Cai Qichang and experts called for accelerating the construction of the third terminal, improving parking and external transportation, and planning a maintenance area based on the advantages of the aerospace industry. The Ministry of Transportation and the Civil Aviation Administration stated that the overall plan for 2045 is under review.

The Kaohsiung City Public Works Bureau invested 11 million yuan to renovate and adjust the elevation of the 2.4-kilometer-long section 3 of Agongdian Road (from Qianfeng Road to Shanbahata Road) to solve the problem of a maximum height difference of 50 centimeters on the wavy road surface, improve the smoothness and load-bearing capacity of the road, and has been completed and opened to traffic to improve the quality of commuting and industrial transportation.

The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday (27th) is the peak of the number of people returning to the north. The Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport announced that the national highway passenger transport will operate 1,783 more flights today and tomorrow, 1,212 more flights in the west and 571 more flights in the east. There are currently 147,000 vacancies available for reservation. It also reminds the provincial highways that are prone to congestion and the roads connected to tourist attractions, and calls on the public to book tickets and take advantage of the fare discounts.

In response to the demand for transportation during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taiwan Railway Corporation announced that it will operate an additional train from Taitung to Taipei on September 28, the holiday, and ticket bookings will be open from 0:00 on the 27th.
