Heavy rain suspends passenger rail service on Gyeongbu Line

Passenger train services on the Gyeongbu Line were disrupted Thursday after heavy rain affected the Chungcheong and Sejong area between Bugang Station and Seochang Station.

As of 8 a.m., Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) suspended passenger train services of two Mugunghwa trains and one Saemaeul train operating between Daejeon and Seoul; two Mugunghwa trains between Daejeon and Jecheon; and one Mugunghwa train between Iksan and Yongsan.

KTX high-speed rail services are operating normally.

"We ask passengers to use alternative transportation if possible or check train operating information through the KorailTalk app or the Korail website before traveling," a Korail representative said.
