  The 337/338 that did Jurong East to Yew Tee was also involved after it crossover to the track heading to Jurong East
  
  For the 101/102, it started from Marina Bay and halfway got stuck upon leaving Yew Tee.

  No there isn't any train stuck at Jurong East.

  It was around 7:25pm when I reached Jurong East and I thought it was just the normal crowd but when they started making an announcement about the Marina Bay train arriving in less than 6 minutes I started knowing that something is wrong. It took more than 3 trains to clear the crowd waiting at the middle platform, and mind you, these 3 trains were all packed to the maximum, you can't even squeeze in if you want to board.

  The first train which carried part of the crowd away came from Bukit Batok (which was the last station before Jurong East, on the North South Line). The second and third train came from the terminal I think, as it approached the platform from the other direction.

  First train, from where I was, approached the middle platform in this direction: <---------

  Second and third approached the middle platform in this direction: ----------->

  I hopped onto the third train.

  It didn't end there. The train would stop in the middle of the journey out of the sudden, with an announcement saying that there is a train ahead.

  When I alighted and saw the arrival screen, all Marina Bay trains (which include the one I took) were all having an arrival time of 1 min.

  It goes like this:

  Destination:                        Arriving In:

  (5) Marina Bay                   1 min

  (5) Marina Bay                   1 min
