Korail to Increase Train Services Next Month for Substitute Holidays... "7,300 Additional Seats Available"

Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 20th that it will operate 10 additional KTX and other trains on the 3rd of next month (substitute holiday for March 1st Movement Day).

The additional trains operating on that day include 8 KTX trains and 2 ITX-Saemaeul trains, providing a total of 7,300 extra seats.

Since the substitute holiday falls on a Monday, the operation days of five regularly scheduled trains (3 KTX trains and 2 regular trains) will be adjusted to the following day (the 4th) to accommodate the convenience of Monday commuters.

KORAIL has been increasing the number of trains on routes with high demand during holiday periods based on analysis of train usage patterns. The additional trains on the 3rd and the schedule adjustments on the 4th are made in the same context.

Tickets for the additional trains can be reserved starting from the 20th via the KORAIL website, mobile app (KORAIL Talk), and major station ticket counters nationwide.

Lee Min-seong, head of KORAIL’s Customer Marketing Division, said, “We decided to operate additional trains on sections expected to have a surge in passengers in preparation for the temporary increase in train users during the substitute holiday early next month. We will do our utmost to ensure that holiday train passengers can travel safely and comfortably.”
