Signalling fault causes delay on Downtown Line during morning peak hour on Wednesday

[rocket]

SINGAPORE - The new Downtown Line was hit by a signalling fault early Wednesday morning (March 6). The glitch caused service delay across the entire MRT line from as early as 7.45am, with commuters complaining in Bukit Panjang all the way to Bedok. Train service started to return to normal at just past 9am, over an hour after the glitch.

Whenever MRT signalling fault happens I only have one question:

Indeed. The culture of corruption in Alstom group is the norm. Even the UK SFO has stated in their latest news release after securing convictions of senior Alstom executives. I wouldn't be surprised that the hand panky of these Alstom executives have rub off in both SMRT and SBS Transit when snatched their contracts here in Singapore

Lisa Osofsky, Director of the Serious Fraud Office said: “The culture of corruption evident within the Alstom Group was widespread. Their illicit activities to win lucrative contracts were calculated and sustained, undermining legitimate business and public trust. “These convictions were a result of a truly global investigation and I thank our case team for their effort and persistence in bringing the individuals and companies involved to justice.” The SFO’s investigation involved cooperation with more than 30 countries including France, Canada, Hungary, Denmark, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Lichtenstein, Cyprus, Singapore, the Seychelles, India, Sweden, Lithuania, Switzerland and Tunisia. Due to the lifting of reporting restrictions, the conviction of Alstom Network UK Ltd in a linked case can also now be reported.

alstom supplies the older urbalis 300 signaling system to the north-east and circle lines. siemens (formerly invensys westinghouse) supplies the sirius signaling system to the downtown line. alstom also supplies the newer urbalis 400 signaling system to the thomson-east coast line.

Often quoted faults. Train fault, cable fault, signal fault, track fault Actually they are overused. Can't they say something new.

If you think they're overused now, wait till more MRT lines open, and more new high-rise HDB and condos ('mixed use development') around those stations become inhabited.

The bigwigs should just own up and say "it's our fault"

That is correct bro! Just a delay. No breakdown! Don't even say things like that! My trip to office was delayed because car had to be sent to workshop. That is how to say it right, ahaha!
