HANOI: The Vietnam Railways Corporation has halted 10 North-South passenger trains as heavy rains and flooding continued to disrupt operations across central Vietnam, especially Khanh Hoa province, the Vietnam News Agency reported on Wednesday (Nov 19).
The newly suspended services on Wednesday included two trains between the capital city of Hanoi and the southern hub Ho Chi Minh City, and two others operating between Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
The rail operator already suspended six passenger trains on Monday and Tuesday due to severe weather conditions.
Heavy rains in Khanh Hoa province since Sunday have triggered landslides along several rail segments, washing away parts of the track bed. - Xinhua
