toa payoh station train disruption

SBS9888Y SG

at 1330 hours, a train bound for marina bay at toa payoh station malfunctioned and a toxic gas was released. all commuters were told to evacuate but some still stand there blur blur. many commuters were left packed right outside the toa payoh station concourse while some transferred to buses around toa payoh station. at 1345, the malfunctioned train left toa payoh for bishan depot, train service resumed as per normal.

i bet its a refurbishd C151. but i couldnt see the train. i only got 3 pictures cos my camera has only 10 MB memory -.-

QX179R SG

so its a 15 min delay..

could be due to some electrical fault on the tracks which might have caused some sparks to some of the train parts therefore the release of the toxic gas..

zhlow SG

ya i do agree with QX179R's explanation. but it can also be the accidental release of Halon 1301 gas, a chlorine base toxic gas used as fire extinguisher in many of our mrt stn. well thats my guess.

QX179R SG

Commuters asked to leave MRT train at ToaPayoh after air-con unit emitted smoke

Commuters travelling on a southbound train at Toa Payoh this afternoon had to be off-loaded
after smoke was detected from one of the air-conditioning units in one of the train carriages.

938LIVE received several phone calls when the incident happened at around 1.25pm.

A spokesperson from the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit Corporation says the train was removed from service after passengers disembarked.

This resulted in a train service delay of about seven minutes.

SMRT apologised for the inconvenience caused and is investigating the cause of the incident.
