TWO MRT LINES BREAKDOWN ONE AFTER ANOTHER ON TUESDAY PEAK HOUR TRAVEL

Two train disruptions hit SMRT-operated train lines on Tuesday (30 August 2016) peak hour causing major delays for commuters.

The first delay hit the North South Line (NSL) at around 6:08 am and lasted for about an hour. Although SMRT announced that the fault was resolved at 6:23 am, train speeds between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Gombak stations were slow.

This was followed by the Circle Line (CCL) which faced a similar track fault delay an hour later further compounding the transport woes faced by Singaporeans.
