The train, which departed Daejeon at 7:51 a.m. for the airport, suddenly stopped at Yeongjong Bridge. Due to the breakdown, the Airport Express that runs between Seoul Station and the airport stopped for nearly two hours.

The airport authorities ran temporary shuttle buses to fetch passengers to the airport and then resumed normal operations. (Yonhap)
