Rapid KL Deployed Phased Service on Kelana Jaya Line Amidst Tree Obstruction

During the disruption on the Kelana Jaya LRT line caused by overgrown tree branches obstructing the tracks near Taman Paramount station, Rapid KL implemented an alternative service plan. This plan effectively segmented the line into three operational parts to manage passenger flow and facilitate repair works. The disruption, which began early this morning, led to significant delays for commuters during the peak rush hour.
Phased Terminations for Kelana Jaya Line Trains

To address the obstruction, trains originating from Putra Heights were directed to terminate their services at the Kelana Jaya station. Concurrently, trains running from the Gombak direction had their services concluded at the Taman Jaya station. This measure was put in place to isolate the affected section of the line and allow for necessary clearance operations to proceed without further interference from moving trains.
Introduction of Shuttle Train Service

A crucial component of the alternative service plan involved the deployment of a shuttle train. This shuttle service was specifically tasked with transporting passengers between the Kelana Jaya and Taman Jaya stations. This provided a connecting link for commuters who needed to continue their journeys across the divided sections of the LRT line, thereby mitigating the impact of the full service suspension.
Restoration of Full Service Operations

Following the completion of clearing works, which were confirmed by 9.45am, the obstruction was successfully removed from the tracks. Consequently, the alternative train services, including the shuttle, were terminated. This allowed for the normal resumption of through-train operations along the entire Kelana Jaya LRT line, with Rapid KL working to readjust service frequencies to fully normalise train waiting times.
