Railink Cancels Srilelawangsa Train Services Due to Severe Flooding

Safety Measures Following Track Damage

PT Railink has made the decisive move to cancel all Srilelawangsa train services between Medan, Binjai, and Kuala Bingai on December 1, 2025. The cancellation comes as a precautionary measure following severe flooding that has affected the railway track. According to Ayep Hanapi, Manager of Corporate Communications at Railink, the flooding has caused soil displacement at KM 15+5/6 between Medan and Binjai stations, making it unsafe for train operations.

Service Disruption Details

The cancellation affects a total of 20 train services - comprising 17 services between Medan and Binjai, and 3 services extending to Kuala Bingai. This disruption is a direct response to the compromised safety of the railway infrastructure due to the flooding. Railink's priority remains the safety and security of its passengers and operational integrity.

Operational Safety Measures

The decision to cancel services underscores Railink's commitment to operational safety. By halting operations until further assessment and repairs can be made, the company aims to prevent any potential accidents that could arise from the compromised track conditions. The situation is being closely monitored, with services expected to resume once the track is deemed safe for travel.
