SINGAPORE : A KTM train travelling south from Kelantan to Singapore has derailed at Bukit Merah.
No one was hurt but 64 passengers on board were held up for three hours.
The train was supposed to arrive at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station at about noon.
But just 10 minutes before completing its scheduled 13-hour journey, the train derailed.
Apparently, one of the carriages had broken down and stopped moving at Bukit Merah.
Workers found that one of the wheels on a carriage had derailed from the tracks, by some 5 centimetres.
All passengers were then evacuated.
One passenger commented, "Some (of the passengers were) very uncomfortable... because it was very hot. They switched off the aircon."
Another added, "Most of us looked outside and discovered that the train (had) derailed."
The train company said it was investigating the cause of the derailment. - CNA/ms -
