Benson Tan, 37, saw two trains on the same track between Ang Mo Kio
and Bishan stations yesterday (Sep 8.) at about 7pm. He said: "The
two drivers were facing each other up there and signalling to each
other. From where I was, it looked like one of them had mistakenly
gone onto the wrong track!"
Stomper Mike Muk sent us some scenes at both Ang Mo Kio and Yishun
station. Watch them in STOMPcast.
STOMP contacted SMRT and found out that the second train was called
in to move the train that broke down onto a service track as part
of a recovery procedure known as 'coupling'. The North-South train
services were disrupted yesterday evening (Sep 8.) at 6.50pm
between the Bishan and Ang Mo Kio stations. Services resumed at
7.10pm.
