Train service disruption at Pasir Ris Stn when a technical fault
occurred on the tracks near the Station this morning.
However, the delay kept being extended through more public service
announcements, and it was then realised that part of the MRT track
was not functioning properly when a train heading into the station
had to turn back.
SMRT staff then evacuated the station while fixing the problem, and
Alvin noted that it didn't take very long before commuters were
allowed back into the station again.
Refunds will be given, and commuters have 3 days to collect it from
SMRT.
According to the SMRT spokesperson, the delay was due to a
technical fault. Said the spokesperson in an official statement to
STOMP:
"This morning, eastbound train
service between Tampines and Pasir Ris stations was disrupted at
9.14 am when a technical fault occurred before Pasir Ris
Station.
To maintain service on the unaffected stretches of the East-West
line during the incident, all eastbound trains were turned around
at Tampines Station to continue westbound service. Train services
on the North-South Line were not affected. Normal train service
resumed at 9.28 am."
