Train Malfunction at Maebong Station on Line 3... Sequential Delays in Service
20-Minute Service Suspension
Between Maebong and Yangjae Stations
On the evening of July 2, train operations on Seoul Subway Line 3 were temporarily delayed at Maebong Station due to a train malfunction.
At around 7:20 p.m. that day, a train heading toward Yangjae Station broke down at Maebong Station on Seoul Subway Line 3.
The train stopped due to a malfunction in the air pressure device that assists with braking and door operation. It resumed running at around 7:47 p.m., and was moved to the siding track at Apgujeong Station at around 8:39 p.m.
No one was injured in the incident. However, for about 20 minutes while the train was being repaired, the northbound section between Maebong Station and Yangjae Station was controlled, and train operations continued to be delayed sequentially even after that.
