▲ Seoul Subway Line 7 Boramae Station
Passengers faced inconvenience after a train bound for Jangam malfunctioned at Boramae Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 at around 12:23 p.m. today (Nov. 1), forcing everyone on board to get off.
Seoul Metro stated, "A train malfunction has occurred, and we are currently preparing for a rescue connection," adding, "It will take some time to complete the restoration."
A rescue connection refers to an operation where a normal train pushes a disabled train from behind to keep it moving.
As a result, train operations on the northbound section of Line 7 are experiencing disruptions, while southbound trains are operating normally.
The corporation believes that a problem occurred in the train's braking system and plans to inspect the exact cause of the malfunction after it arrives at the Dobong Train Depot.
An official from Seoul Metro said, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to subway users, and we will do our best to take prompt action to prevent further disruptions to operations."
