Heard someone jumped at Sembawang…
Don't think anyone jumped. Because if they did, train service
wouldn't have been at Admiralty (refer to STOMP article @
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=24807).
Heard it was a technical glitch. About 5-7 JE bound trains were
forced to turn around at Yishun towards Marina Bay. 2 Pasir Ris
bound train duties were called off. Saw 235/236 at AMK Southbound
platform awaiting green light to start duty. Code 106F.
JE bound train service was badly affected, platforms at Khatib,
Yishun, and Admiralty were almost exploding (even the southbound
platform which sees more people taking the train on morning peak
than the northbound platform at Yishun had lesser people). The
station master made an announcement to inform passengers at Yishun
that service was disrupted and frequencies of trains heading to JE
at that period from 7.45 ~ 8.10 was around 12-14 minutes per train.
The other JE bound trains were called off to execute turnaround at
Yishun.
I believe train service went back to normal at around
8.30am.
Anyway, a little bit off topic, the 7 trains heading to Pasir
Ris in the morning have gotten their run duty codes changed.
