In a Facebook post today, the company said the four train cars, which went off the track near the Chan Sow Lin station, were safely removed in the overnight operation, Bernama reported.

“The operation involved the coupling of the train cars with a specialised track vehicle to enable their safe and controlled removal from the site.

“Efforts are being intensified to ensure safe and comfortable train services for passengers can be restored as soon as possible,” the post said.

On Thursday, LRT services on the Ampang-Sri Petaling Line were disrupted following the derailment.

At a press conference after visiting the site yesterday, transport minister Loke Siew Fook said preliminary investigations indicated that a switch box malfunction caused the derailment, but the exact cause of the switch system failure has yet to be determined.

Loke said the affected track was expected to resume operations no later than June 3.

He said all stations along the Ampang-Sri Petaling Line remained operational, although services were running on a modified schedule to ensure train movements could continue throughout the recovery period.
