00:00The Ampang line will operate under a temporary service arrangement from Wednesday,
00:04following the completion of major repair works after last week's derailment at Chan Saulin Station.
00:11Rapid KL said,
00:12Train services between Putra Heights and Central Timur will resume without the need for passengers to transfer between trains.
00:20However, commuters travelling between Ampang and Central Timur will be required to make one train transfer at Chan Saulin Station,
00:28which is expected to add about five minutes to travel time during peak hours.
00:34To support the temporary operating arrangement,
00:37ten free feeder shuttle buses will be deployed on the Chan Saulin to Masjid Jamek to Bandaraya
00:42and Chan Saulin to Maluri to Pandanjaya to Ampang routes.
00:47The shuttle buses will operate at intervals of between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
00:53Rapid KL said its engineering and technical teams had completed repair works,
00:59replaced damaged components, and restored affected systems following the derailment.
01:04The teams also carried out comprehensive inspections of train assets and infrastructure
01:09to ensure safety, reliability, and operational performance.
01:13Rapid KL added that further inspections, technical verification, system calibration,
01:20and specialised monitoring are still being conducted to ensure all operational and infrastructure requirements
01:28meet safety standards before full service is restored.
01:32Support personnel will continue to be stationed at key stations to assist passengers,
01:38particularly as higher passenger numbers are expected following the long holiday period.
