As of 9 am today, Vietnam Railways has provided over 2,000 free breakfasts and 850 main meals to passengers on affected trains.
Earlier, Vietnam Railways also suspended trains NA1, NA2, MR1 and MR2 on September 28, and trains NA1, NA2, MR1, MR2, SE1, SP3, SP4 and SP7 on September 29 due to Typhoon Bualoi.
