ETS, KTM Komuter services face disruption after suspected animal contact damages power line

The ETS and KTM Komuter services experienced disruptions on September 30 due to an incident involving a suspected animal contact with a 25kV overhead power line between Batang Benar and Labu. KTMB stated that the disruption occurred at 6:24am at KM434.423, affecting power supply and leading to delayed or early terminations of some trains during inspections and repairs.

For ETS services, the JB Sentral-KL Sentral EP9532 service terminated at Seremban, while passengers on the KL Sentral-JB Sentral EP9523 service were transferred to Seremban by bus before continuing their journey by train. Shuttle buses were provided from KL Sentral, Bandar Tasik Selatan, and Kajang. KTM Komuter services on the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route were also affected, with several trains terminating at Seremban or Labu.

KTMB offered full fare refunds to passengers who decided not to continue their journey due to the disruption and estimated repairs to take about three hours.
