[h=2]Train delay along North-South Line this morning due to ‘stalled train’ at Ang Mo Kio MRT station[/h]Posted by temasektimes on April 24, 2012
Two days after a LRT train stalled halfway on its track forcing commuters to ‘sky-walk’ for the rest of their journey, another SMRT train stalled this morning at Ang Mo Kio MRT station causing delay along the North-South line.
According to affected commuters, they were told to alight from Ang Mo Kio MRT station at around 8am to take the next train due to ‘train fault’.
fuzzywuzzy tweeted on #SMRT:
“Aiyo why MRT got problem again, had to alight at Ang Mo Kio and take the next train”
However, the passengers were unable to board the next train because it was too packed and many were late for work as a result.
One netizen ‘Babysabs’ post on Facebook:
“Yes I was, missed 5 trains b4 I could board.”
Mohd Fahmi added:
“yup.. was taking the 6am.. train fault on the announcement.”
Winston Foo was frustrated:
“This is the challenge I face at AMK everyday! At each door, 5 alights while 15 tries to board. On a few occasion, the South bound decides to offload all it’s passenger… Making it 50 trying to board.”
As usual, there are no public statements from SMRT on the latest ‘minor’ train disruptions as Singaporeans get used to the frequent train breakdowns and delays which have become part and part of life in Singapore.
