Flooding in Pekalongan since early Saturday has submerged the rail line between Pekalongan and Sragi stations, forcing PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) to reroute trains via the southern path. Several services were cancelled, while special locomotives were prepared to navigate water up to 10 centimetres above the rails.
India's Ministry of Railways has announced stricter train ticket cancellation rules, with no refunds for cancellations up to eight hours before departure. The changes align with revised reservation chart preparation timings and will be implemented by mid-April. Passengers can now change their boarding point up to 30 minutes before the train's departure from origin.
