Normal Train Service Resumption Unspecified Amidst Disruption

The resumption of normal train service on the Kulai-Kempas route remains unspecified, as operations were disrupted on August 5th due to a power supply outage. Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has confirmed that cleanup and repair works are currently underway to restore the power supply.
Disruption Details and Cause

Train operations for both the Shuttle Selatan and Electric Train Service (ETS) on the Kulai-Kempas route experienced disruptions following a power outage. The incident was attributed to a lorry carrying flammable liquid that skidded and veered close to the railway tracks. This event directly impacted the electrical systems necessary for train operations in the affected segment.
Passenger Assistance and Mitigation

In response to the disruption, KTMB has implemented measures to assist affected passengers. For ETS travellers, shuttle bus services are being provided at Kulai, Kempas Baru, and JB Sentral stations to facilitate onward journeys. Passengers utilising the Shuttle Selatan service are advised to arrange for alternative modes of transport during this period. Furthermore, KTMB has stated that fare adjustments will be offered to those impacted by the service interruptions.
Current Delay Information

As of 10:37 pm on August 5th, the disruption had led to notable delays for specific ETS services. ETS9449 was reported to be running 32 minutes behind its scheduled time, while ETS9533 experienced a delay of 55 minutes. These figures were subject to change based on evolving operational conditions as repairs progressed.
