▲ Seoul Subway Line 7 Boramae Station
Passengers faced disruptions, including being forced to get off an inbound train bound for Jangam, following a train breakdown at Boramae Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 at around 12:23 p.m. today (November 1).
Seoul Metro stated, "A train breakdown has occurred and we are currently preparing for a rescue connection," adding, "It will take time to restore normal service."
A rescue connection refers to a normal train pushing a disabled train from behind to operate it.
As a result, train operations on the upbound section of Line 7 are currently experiencing disruptions, while downbound trains are operating normally.
Seoul Metro suspects that an issue occurred in the train's braking system and plans to check the exact cause of the breakdown once the train arrives at the Dobong Train Depot.
An official from Seoul Metro said, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to subway users," and added, "We will take swift action and do our utmost to prevent any further disruptions to operations."
