Inp.polri.go.id - Semarang. Around 1,200 passengers canceled their train journeys after severe flooding in Grobogan, Central Java, disrupted the railway between Gubug and Karangjati Stations, star-owned railway company PT KAI confirmed on Thursday (23/1/2025).

"Approximately 1,200 passengers canceled their trips, with some opting to reschedule," said PT KAI EVP of Corporate Secretary Raden Agus Dwinanto Budiaji, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The flooding, which severed the Semarang-Surabaya rail connection, forced trains to reroute, causing significant delays and several trip cancellations. Passengers experienced average delays of two hours due to the extended routes and congestion on alternate lines.

To mitigate the impact, PT KAI provided recovery services for affected passengers at stations and onboard trains.

Repair efforts to restore the damaged track are underway, with PT KAI prioritizing safety. The company aims to reopen the affected section by Friday , hoping to normalize operations and reduce travel disruptions.
