Check Train Operations Before Boarding

On May 29, train operations for both KTX and regular trains will remain significantly reduced due to the aftermath of the Seosomun overpass accident. Of the 735 scheduled train services on this day, only 542 (73.7%) will operate. This means that 193 trains, or about one out of every four, will be suspended.

According to Korail, out of the 383 high-speed train services (including both KTX and KTX-Eum), only 270 will run, with 113 services suspended. In particular, no trains will operate on the Haengsin-Seoul and Seoul-Cheongnyangni sections. Passengers planning to board the KTX at Haengsin Station or Cheongnyangni Station must reconfirm their actual departure station using the KorailTalk app.

Service for regular trains will also be adjusted in some sections. Both ITX-Saemaeul and ITX-Ma-eum trains on the Gyeongbu, Honam, and Jeolla lines will only operate to and from Seoul Station, Yongsan Station, or Suwon Station, or will depart from these stations.

Mugunghwa-ho trains on the Gyeongbu, Honam, and Jeolla lines will only run as far as Daejeon Station or Seodaejeon Station. For the Janghang Line, trains will only operate up to Cheonan Station.

Tickets for suspended train services will be refunded without any cancellation fee. Tickets purchased by credit card will be automatically refunded without the need for a separate request.

Depending on the progress of accident recovery efforts by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, further changes to train operations may occur. Korail has urged passengers to check real-time service updates through the KorailTalk mobile application, the Korail website, or the customer service center before heading to the station.
