ETS, KTM Komuter services face disruption after suspected animal contact damages power line

On September 30, ETS and KTM Komuter services in Kuala Lumpur experienced disruptions due to a severed 25kV overhead power line between Batang Benar and Labu, suspected to have been caused by an animal.

The incident led to delays and early terminations of train journeys, with passengers being accommodated by shuttle buses to continue their travel.

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) is actively working on inspections and repairs, expected to be completed within three hours, and offers full fare refunds to passengers choosing not to travel due to the disruption.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — ETS and KTM Komuter services were disrupted this morning after a 25kV overhead power line between Batang Benar and Labu was severed, with KTMB saying an animal may have triggered the incident.

In a statement today, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) said the disruption began at 6.24am at KM434.423, affecting power supply and forcing some trains to be delayed or terminate their journeys early while inspections and repairs were carried out.

Preliminary checks found that the incident was suspected to have been caused by an animal coming into contact with both a live wire and an earth wire, causing an electrical fault.

For ETS services, the JB Sentral-KL Sentral EP9532 service will terminate at Seremban, with buses taking passengers onwards, while passengers on the KL Sentral-JB Sentral EP9523 service will be transferred by bus to Seremban before continuing their journey by train. Shuttle buses are being provided from KL Sentral, Bandar Tasik Selatan and Kajang.

Several KTM Komuter services on the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route were also affected, including trains terminating at Seremban or Labu, while additional commuter sets were deployed to Kajang and Bangi to carry passengers towards Batu Caves.

KTMB said passengers who decide not to continue their journey because of the disruption are eligible for a full fare refund, subject to existing procedures.

“Technical teams are actively carrying out inspection and restoration works at the site to allow train services to resume normal operations as soon as possible,” KTMB said, adding that repairs were estimated to take about three hours.

吉隆坡，9月30日讯——今早，由于巴当贝纳和拉布之间的一条25千伏架空电力线被切断，ETS和KTM通勤列车服务中断。KTMB表示，可能是动物引发了这起事故。

马来亚铁路公司（KTMB）今天发表声明称，中断始于早上6点24分，地点位于KM434.423处，影响了电力供应，导致部分列车延误或提前结束行程，同时进行检查和维修。

初步调查发现，该事件疑似由动物接触到带电电线和地线，导致电气故障引起。
