The Busan Donghae Line, which experienced disruptions in train operations due to Typhoon Champi, resumed normal operations starting with the first train today (October 26).

Korail repaired the overhead catenary line failure that occurred yesterday (October 25) between Ilgwang Station and Wolnae Station on the Donghae Line, and has been operating trains normally since the first train today.

Today's first trains departed from Bujeon Station at 5:32 a.m. and Taehwagang Station at 5:36 a.m., respectively.

Previously, at around 7:21 p.m. yesterday, a tree near the tracks fell, causing a failure in the overhead catenary line in that section.

Korail operated inbound and outbound trains alternately using the inbound track of the affected section.

Due to this incident, some trains were delayed for a long time, causing inconvenience to passengers.

Busan received over 100 mm of rain over two days starting from October 24 due to the impact of Typhoon Champi.
