PT KAI noted that 29 long-distance train trips were still being diverted following the rail line at the crossing between Gubug Station and Karangjati Station which was still cut off due to flooding in Grobogan Regency, Central Java, on January 21, 2025.

"The operational pattern by implementing the diversion of travel routes is still being implemented until this morning," said Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang Franoto Wibowo in Semarang, Antara, Thursday, January 23.

A number of trains from Jakarta and Bandung to various areas in East Java whose travel routes had to be rotated, including Kertajaya Train, Jayabaya Train, Blambangan Express train, Pandalungan Train, Argo Bromo Anggrek train, Harina train, Airlangga train, Gumarang train, Dharmawangsa train, and Sembrani train.

He gave an example of the Argo Bromo Anggrek train whose journey was diverted through Solo.

Meanwhile, another long-distance train traverses the Brumbung-Gandoh-Gambringan route, avoiding the cut off rail line.

In addition to the diversion of 29 train trips, PT KAI also canceled nine train trips that crossed the Semarang Daop area.

He said efforts to repair the route cut off due to flooding were continuously carried out.

He said 2,500 tons of cryicak had been buried into the railroad tracks that were eroded by flooding in Grobogan.

"Hopefully today one of the lines has been repaired so that the train can be crossed," he said.

Previously, long-duration rain flushed various regions in Central Java from Monday, January 20, night to Tuesday, resulting in natural disasters in a number of areas.
