Putrajaya:Train services on the MRT Putrajaya Line are facing delays due to a power supply disruption caused by cable theft near Taman Equine Station.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the incident was detected at 5.24 am when a train was unable to move at Taman Equine Station. This prompted Rapid KL's technical team to carry out inspections and repair work to restore the power supply and train services.

As a result of the disruption, passengers should expect longer waiting times on platforms at UPM, 16 Sierra, and Putrajaya Sentral stations. To facilitate travel, alternative train and shuttle bus services have been activated. Trains from Kwasa Damansara Station are turning back at UPM Station at 10-minute intervals, and trains are operating between UPM and 16 Sierra stations at the same frequency.

Shuttle trains between 16 Sierra and Putrajaya Sentral stations are running every seven minutes. Additionally, free shuttle buses are available between Serdang Jaya, UPM, Taman Equine, Putra Permai, 16 Sierra, Cyberjaya Utara, Cyberjaya City Centre, and Putrajaya Sentral stations, with intervals ranging from 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

Passengers planning to travel to Sepang via the ERL service at Putrajaya Sentral should allow for extended travel times. Rapid KL has also recommended using alternative routes via KL Sentral and Bandar Tasik Selatan ERL stations.

To ensure passenger safety and smooth movement, auxiliary police and station staff are on duty at platforms and station concourses. Regular announcements regarding train schedules are being made at the stations.

Rapid KL views the cable theft incident seriously, as it impacts service operation and safety. The company will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on service status through its social media platforms and journey-planning app.
