Here’s the latest peak hour timetable for the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling Line stretch between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya, which has two surviving trains afterto prolong their lifespan. As such, the frequency for this stretch is now 24 minutes, double of the 12 minutes that was announced last Friday.
Rapid KL says that the decision to use the two remaining trains more sparingly is to ensure that they can continue to operate at an optimum level – this will help avoid the full closure of the LRT stations between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya.Here’s the context. Last week, Rapid KL announced that three out of five trains serving the stretch between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya were taken out of action due to safety reasons, leaving just two operational trains.
Since then, the five trains that have been “stuck” between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya have not been able to return to the LRT depot in Ampang for maintenance, and three units have been taken out of service because they no longer fulfil the criteria for operations. For safety reasons, basically. If the two remaining trains do the maximum shift, they will soon be out of action too.To mitigate, Rapid KL introduced a free shuttle bus between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya.
Now, there will be 15 buses serving this route with a frequency of 10 minutes. Rapid KL says that DBKL will support this initiative with a special lane to smoothen flow. Hang on in there, you two surviving trains.Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats.
