Penang Hill Corporation marketing and promotion division manager Anne Goh said the railway operation would resume after the annual maintenance work being held.

"Visitors may choose to use alternative routes, either by a jeep ride to the top from the Botanical Gardens or using the existing trail to trek up the hill," she said in a statement, here, Wednesday.
