KTMB confirms the temporary track closure near JB Sentral is a short overnight disruption affecting only two ETS services, with bus replacements provided.
KUALA LUMPUR: Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has clarified that the temporary closure of the track between the Kempas Baru Station and JB Sentral Station does not involve a full shutdown of JB Sentral’s operations.
In a statement today, KTMB said the closure will take place from 10 pm tonight until 6 am tomorrow to allow for the safe launching of a Pedestrian Over Bridge at JB Sentral Station.
The statement clarified that the temporary closure lasts only a few hours from late night to early morning and affects only two Electric Train Service (ETS) services, trains 9449 and 9535.
“Both trains will terminate at Kempas Baru Station, and passengers will be transported to JB Sentral Station using replacement bus services provided by KTMB.
“To ensure smooth travel, prior notice regarding these operational changes has been communicated to affected passengers via SMS as well as announcements through KTMB’s official channels,” the statement read.
KTMB also confirmed that train services at JB Sentral will resume as usual immediately after the work is completed at 6 am tomorrow.
