Lao Cai - Hanoi train temporarily suspended due to flood impact

Due to the impact of storm Bualoi (storm No. 10) causing heavy rain over a large area, causing the water level of the Red River in Lao Cai to rise, the railway industry has temporarily suspended passenger train pairs on September 29-30, with routes from Hanoi to Lao Cai and vice versa.

Ms. Do Thi Gam, Head of Lao Cai Railway Transport Station, said that the SP4 train departing from Lao Cai station to Hanoi last night had to turn back at Pho Lu station. Meanwhile, the SP8 train departing from Lao Cai station to Hanoi this afternoon (September 30) also had to be temporarily suspended.

Train SP4 departing from Lao Cai station last night had to turn back.

Previously, on the evening of September 29, trains SP3 and SP7 departing from Hanoi station to Lao Cai station stopped running to ensure passenger safety.

Currently, the railway industry is reviewing information of customers who purchased tickets online to proactively refund the ticket price for this train through their accounts.

For passengers who purchased tickets at stations and agents, passengers can contact us for a ticket refund.

Passengers who miss their train can contact Lao Cai station to get their train tickets refunded.

Heavy rain caused by the circulation of storm Bualoi (storm No. 10) has caused flood water on Thao River (Red River) passing through Yen Bai Station (Lao Cai province) to rise very quickly during the night, rising by 2.6 m within 4 hours.
