Kelana Jaya LRT affected by track switch malfunction

Rapid Rail said the first incident occurred at 4.24pm, causing the train to be manually operated between the KL Sentral and Pasar Seni stations.

A railroad switch is a mechanical installation that enables trains to be guided from one track to another, which on the Kelana Jaya line, should be fully automated.

In a statement Thursday evening, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said the first incident occurred at 4.24pm Thursday, causing the train to be manually operated between the KL Sentral and Pasar Seni stations."The second disruption occurred between the Damak and Dato’ Keramat stations at 5.26pm. As of now, the technical staff is actively carrying out repairs and will ensure normal operation resumes immediately,” it said in the statement.

To reduce congestion at the stations, free shuttle services were provided between the KLCC, Ampang Park, Damai, Dato’ Keramat, Jelatek and Setiawangsa stations. Commuters are advised to plan their journey as well as check Rapid KL’s social media to get the latest information. - Bernama
