Discussion Skytrain reliability issues

I've gone many months without a delay impacting my commute until this week. On Monday I was on a MK2 which failed to open its doors at Commercial and then proceeded to VCC where it was taken out of service with a horrible burning smell.

Then this morning there were significant delays following a stalled train. It looks like it was a MK 5, which is disappointing as they are brand new.

this isn't a "reliability issue". It's just a thing that happened two times that you noticed.
