BTW that day when 217/218 became a defective train at Ang Mo Kio, the STATIS showed 'Marina Bay' for a while before becoming 'Do Not Board'.
Can mislead people.
Today
Trains that are going towards Jurong East (NSL) will have to slow down because i think there is something problem with the tracks located just after Choa Chu Kang Stn. Trains going towards Marina Bay had no problem going thru the tracks. I saw the train yellow front lights are blinking, y is it like that?
if blinking means its on restricted manual mode.

oh ok, thx :)
Restricted Manual Mode: When the mode selector is placed in FORward, REVerse position. In Restricted Manual Mode, the mode selector may be placed in FORward, STAND-BY or REVerse according to the demand of operation. This mode is used for the reversing of train or when the ATC system fails. The Restricted Manual Mode is also used when train is moving inside the depot.

I was stuck also, I was on eastbound and it started to be delayed when the train got to Commonwealth, about a 2 min delay at every station until Tiong Bahru when the TO announced that there was a power failure at Bugis station. Had to wait at Tanjong Pagar and Raffles Place for 5 mins each. Left Commonwealth at 1815, reached Kallang, where the train started to speed up again, at 1900.
Crossover switch fault for reversing sliding after Yishun. Northbound services affected. Trains slow down after Yishun and stops awhile before proceeding onto the crossover switch. Northbound services starting from Sembawang has frequency of 1-4 mins.
Last Thursday, SBS NEL train was completely silent. No announcements, no display no nothing. It just went and stopped at every station. At punggol the train terminated with some people inside. The doors closed and lights off. The LCD said next train, 21 mins. In the end the green man brought all the passengers to the front of the train, manually opened the door and pulled the PSD apart. Everyone got off then.
Topic Locked. Please post at Train Happenings, thanks.
