North-South Line train services delayed
-
Both northbound and southbound train services are delayed due to an accident at Yishun Station. Train accident at around 6.48am.
Northbound services are delayed by a maximum of 15 minutes, southbound services to be delayed by at least an hour. There are still trains to Marina Bay, but it's not that regular.
Last I saw was a train arrived towards Marina Bay in less than 5 minutes, the next one towards Marina Bay took more than 15 minutes to come.
When I reached Woodlands Station, the train towards Marina Bay was still stuck there (probably for at least 5 minutes).
This time there's no re-direction as it happened during peak hours. More trains can't be deployed though, as they are stuck badly at Yishun. One train was damaged at AMK Station and had to be repaired on the spot. (Used the middle platform for repairs).
Be prepared for a packed train today, even those that travel straight to Pasir Ris without rest (which is from AMK to Pasir Ris). I took that train and got stuck, nearly can't get off. Too many people liao... -
Oh hor, somebody didn't open his eyes wide enough this morning.

Heard from my Yishun friends that somebody jumped tracks again.

Edit: Turns out to be an accident. An Indian national was drunk. He fell and was killed. It is not a suicide.

Government is moving in fast. Media had to report it as accident, not suicide.

SMRT technically has no resolution to how they can stop people from trying to make themselves famous on the papers.
The govt eyesore with these donations and habit of jumping.

They just sit at home and wait for employment to find them. -
