No injuries were reported,^[2] and by 06:30 on 6 October, the previously submerged portion was re-sealed.^[3]

After the incident, the original split platforms design for Line 6 were re-designed into a full-width island platform, but they had to maintain the original width due to the construction of the siding near the station had completed. This 23m-wide platform made it the widest platform of the whole line.
