SEMARANG PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) noted that six train trips were disrupted due to floods that inundated the railroad tracks in the plot between Krengseng Station and Plabuan Station, Batang Regency, on Thursday, January 30 morning. The puddle occurred after heavy rains flushed the area since last Wednesday.

Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang, Franoto Wibowo, explained that the double rail line at that location had been closed since 05.15 WIB due to high puddles.

"Both lines are temporarily closed because trains cannot be crossed," said Franoto, quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, January 30.

Six train trips were affected, including Dharmawangsa train, Blambangan Express train, Kaligung train, Argo Merbabu train, and Tawang Jaya train.

PT KAI has deployed dozens of officers to the location to carry out handling and ensure the safe route is traversed.

"At around 08.50 WIB, the line has been reopened and the train can pass at a limited speed," he added.

Franoto ensured that there was no transfer of passengers to other modes of transportation due to this incident.

"We apologize to the passengers affected by this flood. Currently, the route has been safely crossed again," he concluded.
