Due to an electrical supply failure on the Gyeongui Line that occurred around 12:35 PM on the 16th, train operations including KTX have been disrupted, causing delays across all train services. Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) immediately deployed an emergency response team to carry out restoration work, but it is expected that the recovery will take a considerable amount of time.


According to KORAIL, train operations on the up line between Goyang and Seoul have been suspended, and bidirectional operations are being conducted on the down line, resulting in train delays.


Additionally, delays are expected for KTX and regular trains departing from Seoul Station, Yongsan Station, and Haengsin Station on the Gyeongbu Line and Honam Line due to this disruption.


KORAIL has stated that although the emergency response team was deployed immediately after the failure, the restoration work is anticipated to require significant time. Therefore, passengers are advised to use alternative transportation or check the operation status in advance via the KORAIL Talk app or the official website.



The cause of the accident is still under investigation, and KORAIL assured that they will do their best to ensure a safe restoration of the service.
