The train between Gimpo Airport in Seoul and Gimpo Hangang New Town in Gyeonggi-do during working hours suddenly stopped while running, causing an accident in which 200 passengers were trapped for an hour. The train was a driverless train that ran without a driver, and passengers had to walk on the track and exit the train in this accident.
According to Gimpo Gold Line, the operator of the Gimpo Urban Railway on the 21st, the train suddenly stopped on the track between Gimpo Airport Station and Gochon Station on the Gimpo Urban Railway around 6:35 p.m. day. In this accident, about 200 passengers returning home from work were trapped on the train for more than an hour. Some passengers reportedly complained of breathing difficulties. Subsequently, passengers suffered inconvenience as 18 two-car trains waited at 10 stations throughout the section of the Gimpo Urban Railway line up and down.
A Gimpo Gold Line official said: “There is a problem and emergency measures are being taken” and “The exact cause has not been identified.” The Gimpo Gold Line disembarked some 200 passengers trapped in the crashed train and then took steps to move to Gochon Station via an evacuation route installed between the ascending and descending lines.

At the time of the accident, the train was going from Gimpo airport station to Gochon station and, as it was an unmanned train, the driver was not on board. A Gimpo Gold Line official said: “After the failure, the engineer, the cause of the train’s safety, was immediately put on the train.”
The Gimpo Urban Railway, which opened last September, is a fully unmanned train that travels between Gimpo Hangang New Town and Gimpo Airport Station on Seoul Subway Line 9 (10 stops). The railway is operated by a subsidiary of Gimpo Gold Line under a maintenance contract between the owner, Gimpo City, and Seoul Transportation Corporation.
