Signal upgrading works cause major delays on Komuter and ETS routes
Scores of passengers crowd KL Sentral following delays caused by KTMB's signal migration works that began on Friday. (X pic) PETALING JAYA : Train services on several KTM Komuter and Electric Train Service (ETS) routes are experiencing major delays due to signal system migration works that began on May 30 and are continuing until tomorrow. Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB), in a statement today, said the delays affected KTM Komuter services on the Pulau Sebang (Tampin)-Batu Caves, Pulau Sebang-Tanjung Malim-KL Sentral routes, as well as ETS services. Bernama said the signal migration works were being carried out between the Kepong and Salak Selatan stations to ensure a more efficient and safer signalling system. KTMB said the works were part of Phase 1 of the Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) infrastructure upgrade project. KTMB chief operating officer Zain Mat Taha extended apologies to passengers affected by the delays. Phase 1 of the KVDT project, which began in 2015, involved the rehabilitation of tracks and railway systems along the Rawang-Salak Selatan and Simpang Batu-Sentul routes, covering 110km. Phase 2, covering a 140km stretch from Salak Selatan to Seremban, and Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang, commenced in February 2023 and is expected to be completed by 2029. Since the start of the track rehabilitation and upgrade works, KTM Komuter services have been operating at 30-minute intervals, as only a single track is available in the affected sections under repair. The upgraded, modern signalling system is expected to help reduce train service intervals.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — Work to upgrade the signalling system, on the route between Kepong Station and Salak Selatan Station, will take place over three days, starting this Saturday until June 2, said Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB).

'Officers will be placed at the stations to guide and assist passengers to the correct platforms,' it said. Previously, KTMB postponed the upgrade works, to ensure smooth travel for train passengers in the Klang Valley during the 46th Asean Summit, held from May 23 until yesterday The decision took into account the closure of several major roads in the Klang Valley, and the government's recommendation for the public to use public transport to ease traffic congestion.

'Passengers are also urged to stay alert to announcements at stations, and updates on KTMB's official social media channels. 'A short message service (SMS) will be sent to affected ETS passengers, as an early notification of possible delays,' it added. KTMB greatly appreciates the patience and continued support of all users during the upgrade works.
