Korail will terminate KTX 137 at Seodaegu Station during track switch replacement work at Daegu Station from Oct. 30 to Nov. 14
Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) will temporarily shorten the last KTX service from Seoul to Dongdaegu to secure overnight work hours needed to replace aging track switches at Daegu Station on the Gyeongbu Line.
The affected service is KTX 137, which departs Seoul Station at 10:58 p.m. and normally arrives at Dongdaegu Station at 1:05 a.m. the following day. During the adjustment period — Oct. 30 through Nov. 14 — the train will terminate at Seodaegu Station, arriving there at 12:56 a.m.
Passengers traveling to Dongdaegu Station may use KTX 83 (Seoul 10:28 p.m. – Dongdaegu 12:18 a.m.) or KTX 159 (Seoul 10:49 p.m. – Dongdaegu 12:30 a.m., operating Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays), both of which run at nearby times.
Korail will notify customers of the updated schedule through its mobile app "Korail+," its website and electronic information boards at stations.
"We are temporarily adjusting the service route as an unavoidable measure to carry out facility improvement work for safe train operations," said Lee Min-seong, head of Korail's passenger business division. "We ask customers to check the updated schedule before boarding."
