Eastbound MRT service disrupted after train hits man
THE eastbound train service from Aljunied to Tanah Merah was disrupted on Tuesday afternoon for about 50 minutes.
This happened after a man was hit by a train at Eunos MRT Station at 3pm.
The disruption affected about 4,000 passengers, said the SMRT in a press release.
The SMRT deployed a bus bridging service to ferry affected passengers.
Those who could not complete their journeys due to the disruption can claim a fare refund from the passenger service centre at any of the 51 SMRT stations within the next three working days.
The injured man was taken to hospital. He was conscious and suffered leg injuries, police said. -
I think he apparently attempted to jump onto the track, not fall down on the track.

TRAIN SERVICES DISRUPTED
- NAZRY BAHRAWI
Eastbound trains were disrupted for close to an hour yesterday after a man jumped onto the tracks at Eunos MRT station.
The man, a Chinese in his 40s, was semi-conscious and suffered leg injuries after he was hit by a train at 3.01pm. He was sent to the Changi General Hospital.
During the disruption, all eastbound trains were turned around at Aljunied station while some westbound trains were turned around at Tanah Merah station.
Buses were deployed to ferry passengers between Aljunied and Tanah Merah; about 4,000 passengers were affected.
Those unable to complete their journeys because of the disruption
can claim a full fare refund at any of the 51 SMRT stations within three working days, said SMRT. Police are investigating the incident.
Last month, a young woman had a close call when she fainted and fell onto the train tracks at Jurong East MRT station. A quickthinking commuter on the platform activated the emergency stop plunger and the incoming train stopped just a few metres away from her. -
