Train service resumes on East-West Line after track fault
Train service was delayed between Tanah Merah and Aljunied on Friday morning due to a track fault, says SMRT.
SINGAPORE: Train service on the East-West Line (EWL) was delayed during the morning rush-hour on Friday (Mar 18) due to a track fault.
At 7.09am, SMRT posted a tweet about the delay, telling commuters travelling towards Joo Koon station to expect additional travelling time of 15 minutes from Tanah Merah to Aljunied.
Half an hour later, it tweeted that commuters should expect an additional 20 minutes travelling time. The delay was caused by a train fault, SMRT said in the tweet.
At 9.05am, SMRT posted another tweet telling commuters heading from Pasir Ris station towards Aljunied station to expect additional travelling time of 25 minutes. It later revised this to 30 minutes.
In an update at 9.32am, SMRT said the track fault near Paya Lebar station has been resolved, but trains were still travelling at a slower speed due to congestion. Commuters should expect additional travelling time of 20 minutes from Tanah Merah to Aljunied, it said.
At 10.11am, SMRT said the track fault had been cleared and train service was back to normal.
