Hi guys I'm new to this forum, just thought I'd like to share this news with you...
Around 8pm today there was a track fault at raffles place, northbound. Services in all directions were very disturbed as the northbound track at raffles place was not available.
Trains northbound from marina bay had to share the eastbound platform at raffles place with trains to pasir ris. There were smrt personnel directing people across the platform whenever a yishun/JE train (empty, with all lights off) arrived at the eastbound platform.
As in this thread http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2080/topics/258463, the northbound train crossed over back to the northbound track right after leaving raffles place (most likely via a cripple siding as there were 2 times the train swerved violently).
Southbound services remained delayed for at least 15 minutes after 8pm... (doors open, delayed moving-off). Northbound at city hall and raffles place were packed to the brim.
(for people who want to spot the crossover at raffles place, one place would be on the right side wrt to direction of travel on eastbound, immediately after leaving raffles place)
Nobody reply? Nvm i reply here to bump up
*this train will stop for about two minutes for the engineers to inspect the tracks. we apologise for the inconvienience
