KUALA LUMPUR: Two cable theft incidents within hours of each other along the airport rail corridor have disrupted KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services, resulting in longer journeys and schedule changes.
Two separate cable theft incidents along the airport rail corridor have disrupted KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services, resulting in longer journeys and schedule changes. The thefts, which occurred between Sunday night and early today, involved about 260 metres of signalling cables along the railway line between Putrajaya and Salak Tinggi.
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL), which operates both services, reported the first incident near kilometre marker Km44, involving approximately 180 metres of signalling cables. A second act of vandalism was discovered at 5.22am today, involving another 80 metres of signalling cables. These incidents have complicated restoration efforts and disrupted normal train operations.
ERL has introduced shuttle train services and advised passengers to allow additional travel time and plan their journeys accordingly.
