Northbound services between Ang Mo Kio & Khatib
disrupted due to faulty train
SINGAPORE: Northbound train services from Ang Mo Kio to
Khatib MRT stations were disrupted for about 50 minutes when a
train developed a fault and stalled around 7pm on Wednesday.
According to an SMRT spokesperson, the train had to be pushed to
Yio Chu Kang station by another train travelling from Ang Mo Kio
station.
Some 1,800 passengers onboard both trains subsequently alighted at
Yio Chu Kang station at about 7:30pm.
SMRT said commuters were kept informed about the service disruption
through announcements in the trains and at affected stations.
The public was also informed through MediaCorp Radio's Traffic
Watch service.
SMRT apologised for the inconvenience caused and said northbound
train services resumed at around 7.50pm.
