Severed overhead line disrupts ETS, KTM Komuter services
Services on the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route have been disrupted since 6.24am.
A severed overhead line has caused disruptions to ETS and KTM Komuter services on the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route. The incident occurred at Km434.423 between Batang Benar and Labu stations, with services affected since 6.24am today. KTMB technical teams are inspecting and restoring the affected infrastructure, with services expected to resume as soon as possible.
The disruption is believed to have been caused by an animal bridging incident, where an animal comes into contact with both a live and an earth wire, disrupting the overhead line protection system and power supply. Several operational adjustments have been implemented, including terminating ETS train EP9532 at Seremban station and redirecting KTM Komuter trains to terminate at Seremban or Labu stations.
Passengers are advised to use alternative transport modes and will receive full fare refunds if they choose not to continue their journeys. KTMB apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks passengers for their patience and cooperation.
