MRT services between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah stations resume
SINGAPORE : MRT services between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah stations have resumed after a seven hour disruption.
Westbound and eastbound services between the two stations were affected from the start of operations at 5.28am till 12.45pm.
SMRT Corporation says the disruption was caused by the breakdown of a maintenance works train which was carrying out works between Tampines and Simei (westbound) MRT stations.
About 57,000 passengers were affected.
During the disruption, bus bridging services were activated to ferry passengers between the two stations.
Westbound shuttle trains were also put into place at a 28—minute interval to ease passenger flow at Tampines and Simei MRT stations. — CNA/ch -

My friend kena this morning. Sv67 suddenly many bendies missing/replaced
However, during early morning school hours, normal SBST services did not have sudden rise in passengers (6am - 6.30am) as most students chose to take free bus -
After the trailer it got hit with moved away, they had to tow this as well, but they could not, probably because the radiator bracket was dangling.
Since they can use 313/314 to tow it backwards... it went to Tampines.
And finally, this will be sent back later tonight after train service stops.
And the timesheet on 1080U.
