The Hongseong-bound ⁢train service, which⁢ had been suspended due to the ITX-Eum train ‌stopped at ​Seohwaseong Station on the Seohae Line, resumed after‌ about two hours. ⁣

According to KORAIL on the 30th, at around 12:10 p.m.⁤ on this day, the ITX-Ieum train, which was about to depart from Seohwaseong Station‍ on⁤ the Seohae Line in Namyang-eup, Hwaseong-si,⁤ Gyeonggi-do toward ⁤Hongseong, stopped due to an abnormal​ voltage just before departure.

Consequently, 35 passengers on the train suffered the inconvenience of waiting ⁣in the cold on​ the platform for more than an⁢ hour.

KORAIL urgently deployed two charter buses to ‍Seo Hwaseong‌ Station at around 1:30 ‌p.m. to transport waiting citizens.

The charter bus stops at⁣ Hwaseong City Hall Station, Hyangnam station, Anjung‌ Station, Inju ​Station, Hapdeok Station, and Hongseong Station in the Hongseong direction of the West Sea Line, where train service has been suspended, and⁣ is helping passengers move to their original destinations.

A KORAIL ​official said,“Currently,train operations on​ the West ​Sea Line have normalized​ around 2 p.m.,” and “We plan to send⁣ the train in question to the⁤ base to analyze the cause​ of‍ the breakdown.”

Meanwhile, the Hongseong-Seohwaseong section of the west Sea‌ Line opened on the 2nd of this month with a ⁢total ⁣length of 90km. Trains run on this route eight⁢ times a day.

Implementing‍ predictive maintenance‌ systems can definitely help prevent issues before they occur. Additionally,extensive staff ⁢training ensures that there are efficient protocols in place for handling emergencies or service disruptions.

    Editor: Very insightful. Looking to the future, what do you think the impact of these infrastructure ⁢projects will‍ be on the broader community and economy?

Improved rail links ⁣can facilitate not ⁢only personal travel ​but also ⁢freight transport,enriching local businesses and attracting ⁤investments. In the long term, these developments can enhance the quality of life ‍by providing residents with reliable transport options and reducing travel times.
