[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] SRT operations are also being delayed due to signal failures on the KTX Gyeongbu High-Speed Line between Gomo Station and Singyeongju Station in both directions.

SR announced on the 26th that a signal failure occurred at Singyeongju Station on the Geoncheon Connection Line in the early morning, causing the control center to order reduced-speed operation, resulting in disruptions to high-speed train services.

As a result, as of 9 a.m. that day, train number 304, which departed from Busan at 5:45 a.m. and was scheduled to arrive at Suseo at 8:08 a.m., and train number 306, which departed from Busan at 6 a.m. and was scheduled to arrive at Suseo at 8:41 a.m., were each delayed by about one hour. Consequently, all SRT trains in both directions were running 20 to 30 minutes late.

SR stated, "As of 8 a.m., the emergency response headquarters has been activated, and we are strengthening guidance to minimize inconvenience to train passengers."

They added, "We ask passengers using the trains to take this into consideration."
