KUALA LUMPUR - KTM Komuter services are experiencing delays today after trees fell onto the track during heavy rain and strong winds that hit the capital yesterday afternoon.

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) announced that clearance work and repairs to the line equipment on the Salak Selatan - Pelabuhan Klang route (between Mid Valley and Abdullah Hukum stations) and at Simpang Batu (between Sentul and Segambut) were completed by 8pm last night.

"The fallen tree caused the 25kV power supply to trip at 4.24 pm yesterday, directly affecting train operations on the involved routes.

"Thanks to the swift response of KTMB's technical team, which cleared each route in under 50 minutes, services have resumed despite some residual delays due to the knock-on effects," the company said in a statement today.

For the KTM Komuter service, delays of between 32 and 69 minutes are occurring at the Subang Jaya, Sungai Buloh, Kepong, Putra, Seri Setia, Pantai Dalam, Kajang, Bank Negara, Seputeh, and Salak Selatan stations. ETS services, however, have resumed with minimal, controlled delays.

"KTMB deeply regrets the inconvenience caused to passengers by this unforeseen incident. Our team remains committed to ensuring the safety, comfort, and continuity of service for all commuters," the statement read.

Passengers can obtain further information and updates by contacting the KTMB Call Centre at 03-9779 1200 or KTMB's official social media channels. - BERNAMA
