As of 9 PM that day, all 120 SRT trains are operating without delays. An SR official stated, "Tickets that could not be used due to the suspension of service on that day can be refunded at any station nationwide within one year."


Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) is also strengthening safety inspections to resume operations of high-speed trains (KTX), regular trains, and electric trains, which were suspended or had route adjustments due to Typhoon 'Khanun', starting from the first train on the 11th.



For the Gyeongjeon Line, Taebaek Line, Gyeongbuk Line, and Yeongdong Line (Donghae to Gangneung) sections, where operations were suspended due to heavy rainfall, train services will be resumed sequentially after confirming the safety of facilities if no abnormalities are found.
