Train derails in Bandung, all safe
BANDUNG: An Argogede executive train skidded off the tracks at
around 10:20 a.m. on Friday near Bandung railway station. No
injuries, train delays or cancellations were reported.
However, around 200 passengers had to wait for more than two
hours to continue their journey on the same train, while 45
others decided to take a different train.
The train, plying the Bandung-Jakarta route, derailed only
about one minute after it had left the station. The accident was
the 14th derailment to have taken place in Bandung during the
past three months. Seven accidents were blamed on landslides.
