Two Stations on Lima’s Line 1 Closed After Person Enters Tracks

The operator suspended train movement through the affected sector, splitting Line 1 into two running segments while it assesses safety and plans an update.

Overview

  • An unauthorized person accessed the tracks at the San Carlos/Los Postes area, prompting the immediate closure of both stations and a halt to trains through that sector.
  • Service was divided into two separate segments that run independently from Villa El Salvador to Los Jardines and from Bayóvar to San Martín to keep most of the line moving.
  • The concessionaire told riders to use alternate transport and deployed station staff to guide commuters and manage crowding at nearby stops.
  • Train circulation remains suspended in the affected stretch while operators carry out safety checks and investigate the incident.
  • Line 1 is a key 34-kilometer corridor serving high-demand districts including San Juan de Lurigancho, so the disruption is likely to cause local commuter delays until normal service is restored.
