A Jangam-bound Line 7 train broke down at Boramae Station at 12:23 p.m. Sunday; service across the entire line resumed by 2:07 p.m.
A mechanical fault on a Seoul Metro Line 7 train bound for Jangam was resolved at around 2:07 p.m. Sunday, with full service restored across the line.
Seoul Metro said the breakdown, which occurred at around 12:23 p.m. at Boramae Station, was cleared at around 2:07 p.m., allowing trains to resume running on all sections of Line 7.
All passengers were evacuated from the stricken train at Boramae Station before a rescue train was coupled to it. The combined consist was then sent to a depot at around 2:07 p.m.
"Train operations are proceeding normally, but it may take some time for headways to fully recover due to the earlier vehicle fault," a Seoul Metro official said. "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to passengers using the subway on Sunday afternoon."
