Commuters were affected by train delays between Tampines and Pasir Ris stations this morning. This comes on the 1st day of PSLE and the MOE assured students they will be given full paper duration. Thank you SMRT for surprising us again!

Our reader who takes the train everyday has complained about the massive train delay that crippled the NSL and DTL this morning. She claims SMRT reported shorter waiting time when passengers actually took more than 1 hr to reach their destinations. How will SMRT and SBS be accountable?

Rush hour crowds are experiencing yet another train breakdown on Tuesday morning (18 Apr). The breakdown was due to a track fault which affected both the North-South and East-West lines. SMRT initially informed of a 10-minute delay from Bishan to Khatib before increasing it to 20 minutes. It also told commuters that they will have to wait for an additional 15 minutes from Paya Lebar to Simei stations. Train service is still slow but still available, and SMRT has just updated that it is working to recover its services. Delay during rush hour again. #NorthSouthEastWest #Forevertrackfault

It was a narrow escape for Andy's sister, who had her leg stuck between the platform gap at Serangoon MRT Station on Thursday morning (Aug 21). The station was crowded and chaotic when the incident happened at around 7.40am, as the North-East Line had been disrupted due to a power fault. Andy said his sister was accidentally pushed out of a train amid the frenzy, causing her right leg to become lodged in the platform gap.
