THE Kelana Jaya line LRT service, which was disrupted by technical problems yesterday afternoon, has been restored.

In a statement last night, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said the repair works on components damaged by a lightning strike had been completed.

It added that all trains passing through the Kerinchi LRT station are now operating automatically and normally in both directions.

“The engineering team will continue to monitor the stability of the system in the affected areas. Rapid Rail once again would like to apologise to users for the inconvenience,” the statement read.

Service on Kelana Jaya LRT line was disrupted after the Platform Intrusion Emergency Stop (PIES) system was suddenly activated due to a lightning strike at the Kerinchi station.

As a result, all trains passing through the station had to be manually controlled, leading to delays in travel schedule and congestion at several stations. – Bernama, November 30, 2022.
