PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang noted that around 12 train trips that passed in the northern region of Central Java were disrupted due to flooding that occurred in the city of Semarang and its surroundings on Saturday, December 31.
"There are about 10 to 12 train trips that have experienced delays," said Head of Daop 4 Semarang Wisnu Pramudyo as quoted by ANTARA.
According to him, the delay was caused by train travel which had to run slowly due to flooded rails.
In fact, he said, there were two train trips, namely the Joglosemarkerto train, which had to be canceled. The flood itself is still inundating the Semarang Tawang Station area, resulting in disrupting passenger up and down activities.
Wisnu said that for the time being the activity of boarding and descending passengers was diverted to Poncol Semarang Station. "The access to Tawang Station is still inundated, prospective passengers can go directly to Poncol Station," he said.
Meanwhile, prospective passengers who have already arrived at Tawang Station can still enter through the exit of the passenger arrival platform.
Extreme weather itself hit the city of Semarang and its surroundings from Friday, December 30 to Saturday, December 31. The rain that has flushed since that period has resulted in floods and landslides at a number of points in the capital city of Central Java.
The flood caused 12 cm high inundation to occur in the plot between Semarang Tawang and Alastua stations. Meanwhile, in the plot between Kaliwungu and Kalibodri, Kendal Regency, it was also inundated due to the overflow of the Waridin River.
