The journey of nine train series in the Daop 4 Semarang area was diverted through the northern route of Central Java following the accidents experienced by Argo Semeru train and Argo Wilis train in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta.

"Several trains on the southern route have temporarily been diverted through the northern route," said Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang Franoto Wibowo as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 17.

The nine trains that were diverted were the Ranggajati Train for the Jember-Cirebon connection, the Jember-Purwokerto Logawa train, and the South Night New Style Train for the Surabaya-Jakarta connection.

In addition, the Jaka Tingkir train for the Jakarta-Solo relationship, the Bangunkarta train for the Jakarta-Jombang relation, the Wijaya Kusuma train for the Banyuwangi-Cilacap connection, the Gajayana train for the Malang-Jakarta relation, the Jayakarta train for the Surabaya-Jakarta connection, and the Kertanegara train for the Malang-Purwokerto relationship.

As a result of the route transition, he said, it did not have an impact on regular train trips on the northern route.

The series of Semeru trains related to Surabaya-Jakarta and Argo Wilis Train, the Bandung-Surabaya connection, had an accident at the crossing between Sentolo and Wates Stations in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta.

Franoto said that efforts to evaluate and normalize damaged lanes are being carried out.
