SINGAPORE: The Circle Line train service was
restored to its normal schedule at 11.45am, following a disruption
earlier Wednesday.
Services on the Circle Line between Marymount and
one-north MRT stations were disrupted at about 6am, due to a
communication network problem.
About 1,400 passengers were affected.
Engineers, who were sent immediately to the site to fix the
problem, partially restored train service at the affected stretch
by 6.40am.
Bus bridging services were activated at 6.30am between Marymount
and one-north stations.
Services were added at 7.35am between Serangoon and one-north MRT
stations.
These services ended at about 1pm.
SMRT also informed commuters of the reduced frequency and
alternative transport arrangements through the radio
stations.
Commuters who could not complete their journeys due to the
disruption can ask for a refund at any MRT station.
