中度颱風薔琵持續靠近台灣,中央氣象署已針對多個縣市發布陸上颱風警報。
中度颱風薔琵進逼,高鐵今日下午至明日上午班次已幾乎全滿。交通部長陳世凱表示,這次出現「颱風加上連假」的情況,民眾已提早開始返鄉,高鐵公司自今晚6時25分起,加開5班次自台北站發車的南下全車自由座列車,並沿途停靠各站,台鐵則東、西幹線各加開2列次。
薔琵颱風持續靠近台灣,中央氣象署已針對宜蘭、花蓮、台東、台中、南投、高雄、屏東發布陸上颱風警報,且陸警範圍最快今日傍晚擴及全島,薔琵颱風暴風圈則預計在明日清晨觸陸。
陳世凱表示,這次颱風來勢洶洶,且出現「颱風加上連假」的情況,與以往單純連假疏運不同,高鐵今日下午至明日上午訂位已經幾乎全滿,已緊急從今日下午6點25分起加開6班自台北站發車的全車自由座列車,且目前高鐵34列次列車,除1列次大修中,目前都已經全數上線協助疏運。
此外,陳世凱指出,這次颱風對於北台灣、東台灣影響較大,考量明日台鐵東部幹線運輸恐有變數,今日加開2列次東部幹線列車進行疏運,需要從東部前往西部的民眾,今日下午就可以提早移動。
陳世凱說,為協助高鐵疏運,台鐵也自今晚5時起,開放西部幹線EMU3000型自強號無座票,並加開2列次西部幹線列車,呼籲民眾高鐵太壅擠時,可以改搭台鐵,目前仍有充足運量可協助民眾移動。
對於明日風雨侵襲北部,陳世凱表示,台鐵東部幹線,尤其台北到宜蘭、宜蘭到花蓮,受天候影響風險較大,交通部已請公路局啟動公路應變措施,若台鐵東部幹線有狀況,可加開國道客運接駁民眾往返台北、宜蘭。
陳世凱也呼籲,這次北台灣、東台灣受到颱風侵襲,沿海風強浪大,民眾應避免經由北部濱海公路移動,若有需要可行駛國道5號,且以國道客運等公共運輸優先。
高鐵公司自今日晚間6時25分起,再增開5班次台北站發車之南下列車,均為全車自由座(商務車廂除外)並沿途停靠各站。詳細資訊如下:
一、4班次由台北站行駛至左營站,台北站發車時間為18:25、19:25、20:36、21:20。
二、1班次由台北站行駛至台中站,台北站發車時間為22:50。
因應薔琵颱風陸上警報發布,依據中央氣象署最新氣象資訊研判,台鐵增開列車資訊如下:
一、西部幹線:
(一)5435次七堵=台中EMU900型區間快車(台北20:24開車)
(二)5165次七堵=彰化PP自強號(台北21:08開車)
二、東部幹線:
(一)5266次樹林=台東EMU3000型自強號(台北21:02開車)
(二)5265次台東=樹林EMU3000型自強號(台東20:36開車)
