Train disruption along North-South line affects over 2,900 passengers
Nearly 3,000 commuters were affected by a train service disruption between Sembawang and Yio Chu Kang stations earlier today.
An SMRT spokesperson said trains had to turn around at the two stations at around 11.45am.
This was done to maintain service on the unaffected stretches of the North-South line.
Normal train services resumed about half an hour later at 12.16pm.
The disruption occurred after a man was found on the railway track at the Yishun MRT station.
He's now in hospital and police are investigating the incident.
Commuters unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can claim a full fare refund within the next 3 days.
This can be done at the passenger service centre in any of the 51 SMRT stations.
