Taipei: Taiwan Railway Corp. (TR) suspended a limited number of train services Friday after sea and land warnings were issued for Typhoon Bavi, and said it would announce operating arrangements for trains scheduled before noon Saturday by 9 p.m. Friday.

According to Focus Taiwan, the state-owned company canceled all tourist trains on Friday, including the Breezy Blue, Haifeng, Shanlan, and Future services. The Breezy Blue operates on the South Link Line between Fangliao and Taitung, while the other tourist trains serve scenic routes around Taiwan.
