Overview

  • Korail restarted operations around 10 a.m. after suspending the IksanJeonju segment for nearly four hours early Sunday.
  • Heavy rain flooded about 700 meters of track between Jeonju Station and nearby Dongsan Station, prompting the shutdown.
  • Teams pumped out water and completed emergency repairs and inspections to allow safe resumption of service.
  • Korail cautioned that some sections could see slower-than-usual train speeds during ongoing monitoring.
  • Replacement buses ran between Iksan and Jeonju during the outage, and passengers on halted trains can request full refunds.
