Subway Line 3 'Wondang~Wonheung Station' Power Outage... Limited Operation

Unable to Determine Normalization Time
Commute Chaos Continues

On the morning of the 15th at around 5:30 AM, a power outage occurred on the Seoul Subway Line 3 Ilsan Line, causing delays in train operations on both the up and down lines.

According to Seoul Metro, the power supply was cut off in the section between Wondang and Wonheung stations in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and restoration work is currently underway. Since trains are operating in a limited manner on only one track in both directions, there is a possibility of inconvenience for commuters during the morning rush hour.

On the up line, trains are currently running single-track on the upper track from Daehwa Station to Jichuk Station, and between Gupabal and Ogeum stations, trains are turning back at Gupabal Station.

Seoul Metro and others are focusing on providing information about the situation as congestion is expected during the morning commute. Citizens heading to Seoul from Goyang City are expected to use alternative transportation such as express buses.

Inside stations like Daehwa Station, station staff are explaining, "Train operations are delayed, so please use other means of transportation," and "It is unknown when normal operations will resume." Seoul Metro sent an emergency text message stating, "Due to the power outage on the Ilsan Line of Line 3, congestion at stations is expected, so please use other transportation options." Goyang City also sent a similar message.

Seoul Metro is investigating the cause of the power outage while working on restoring the power supply.
