The Mawlamyine-Yangon 82 Down train departing from Mawlamyine and Yangon- Mawlamyine 81 Up train departing from Yangon on 12 October will be temporarily suspended for the repairing works of some water erosion areas although the water receded in the Bago rail section, said U Thaung Htike, superintendent of Yangon Railway Station.
At present, the trains will be operated normally again after the repair and inspection of damaged parts of the railway sections between Naungpattaya and Kali railway stations although water has receded. In addition, the trains’ reoperation date will be presented on time.
On 10 October, the Mawlamyine- Yangon 82 Down train departing from Myawlamyine and the Yangon- Mawlamyine 81 Up train departing from Yangon were temporarily cancelled due to the flooding of the railway route.
Those who have purchased these train tickets have been informed that the ticket fares will be refunded at the ticket booths of the Yangon and Mawlamyine Railway Stations. — ASH/MKKS
