On the 10th, KORAIL announced that it will suspend operations on routes passing through the southern coastal areas directly affected by the typhoon (including Mokpo, Yeosu Expo, Gwangju Songjeong, Jinju, Masan, Pohang, Gupo), as well as on the Taebaek Line and Gyeongbuk Line local trains, some KTX trains (including sections on conventional rail lines) to prevent cascading delays in high-speed sections, and the Donghae Line (Bujeon to Taehwagang) metropolitan trains.

In addition, high-speed trains may operate at reduced speeds of 170 km/h or less or temporarily stop depending on the typhoon’s path, wind speed, and rainfall, which may lead to further suspension of some train services.

Tickets for trains whose operation is suspended will be fully refunded automatically the next day without requiring a separate refund application. However, tickets purchased with cash can be refunded by visiting a nearby station within one year.

All operating trains also allow ticket refunds or changes without penalty fees.

SR will also suspend some SRT train operations on the 10th and plans to flexibly adjust train operations depending on the typhoon situation.

A total of 25 trains have been completely suspended across all sections, including 21 on the Gyeongbu Line and 4 on the Honam Line. On the Honam Line, all 18 trains running between Gwangju Songjeong Station and Mokpo Station will be suspended.

Tickets for suspended trains will be automatically refunded the next day without a separate refund request, and all trains operating on the 10th allow ticket refunds and changes without penalty fees.

Tickets purchased with cash can be refunded by visiting a nearby station within one year.

SR emphasized that depending on the typhoon’s path, wind speed, and rainfall, trains may operate at speeds below 170 km/h or temporarily stop, and if cascading delays continue, additional train operations may be suspended.
