In a statement issued by KTM Berhad, the accident reportedly caused 10- to 15-minute delays in the northern sector of the ETS, while the Tanjung Malim-Kepong KTM route experienced 20- to 30-minute delays.
Now, according to the latest update on their Twitter account, KTM Berhad clarified that the accident has now caused the trains to be delayed by 40 minutes as only one track is being used from Tanjung Malim to Kuala Kubu Baru due to repair works. So, if your commute has been affected by the delays, find an alternative mode of transport if possible.
Disebabkan kemalangan tren di stesen Tg Malim, tren komuter 2317 (Tg Malim – Kepong) telah mengalami kelewatan dari jadual asal selama 40 minit disebabkan penggunaan satu landasan di antara stesen Tanjung Malim – Kuala Kubu Baru.
