Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 6th that train operations, which had been suspended or adjusted due to Typhoon No. 11 'Hinnamnor' leaving the danger zone at 07:10 AM, will resume from 09:00 AM on the 6th, and train services will be gradually normalized.


Before resuming operations, KORAIL inspected facilities along the routes and conducted safety checks by deploying test trains.


Emergency repairs have been completed for flooding damage at some stations and plazas.


Earlier, KORAIL had proactively suspended or adjusted some train services on routes expected to be affected to ensure safe train operations.


The Gyeongbu Line operated up to Daejeon, the Honam and Jeolla Lines up to Iksan, the Jungang and Taebaek Lines up to Jecheon, and the Gyeongjeon, Janghang, Gyeongbuk, Daegu, Donghae Nambu, Yeongdong, and Chungbuk Lines were suspended along their entire routes.



KORAIL stated, "Although the typhoon has passed over the Korean Peninsula, heavy rain and strong winds are forecasted through today," and urged train passengers to check train operation status in advance via KORAIL Talk, the customer center, or the website.
