KUALA LUMPUR: The Intercity train service for east coast routes, which has been disrupted since Dec 31 due to floods and a landslide in Dabong, has yet to return to normal.
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) Head of Corporate Communication Ridhwan Arshad said that, in fact, the Intercity train service between Dabong and Kuala Krai is still suspended until further notice.
"The track restoration work is still ongoing," he said in a statement here today.
Meanwhile, Ridhwan said the Ekspres Timuran No.26 (JB Sentral-Tumpat) train service will be available only up to the Gua Musang station and from the station, passengers would have to proceed to Kuala Krai, Tanah Merah, Pasir Mas, Wakaf Bharu or Tumpat using the bus service provided by the KTMB.
Passengers heading to Dabong station, however, would be taken using the local train, he said.
He said for Ekspres Timuran No. 27 (Tumpat-JB Sentral) train service, passengers would be required to take the train from the Tumpat station to Kuala Krai station, before proceeding by bus to the Gua Musang station where they would board the train to the JB Sentral station.
Ridhwan said KTMB anticipates a two-hour delay for each train and passengers who wish to claim refunds or reschedule their trips would be allowed to do so.
"We apologise for all the inconvenience caused. For further information, please call the KTMB call centre at 03-2267 1200 or visit our website at www.ktmb.com.my," he added. - Bernama
