Maybe the fire engine arrive with SCDF equipment to push the train up to take the corpse out?
Or maybe cock up by SCDF? They dispatch a fire engine instead of an ambulance? -
QX179R may answer that question.
I guess fire engine is dispatched as they may have the necessary tools to remove the man trapped under the train. I doubt an ambulance would have those kind of tools.
-
i really hope that the HHPSDs would set up soon,so that lesser of these cases would happen.
-
Another case of somebody jumping onto the tracks? My god.

ambulance must also be dispatched in the event of the person that jumped but is still alive but if its vice versa, then the EAS crew must pronounce that person is dead & time of death which will then the case will be handed over to the police..

Eastbound train services Incident at Bedok MRT Station
Eastbound train services between Eunos and Tanah Merah were disrupted for slightly more than a hour this afternoon when a man was hit by a train a Bedok MRT Station.
SMRT said the incident happened at about 1.45pm.
The train operator said to maintain service on the unaffected stretches of the East-West line during the incident, all eastbound trains were turned around at Eunos MRT Station.
Some westbound trains were turned around at Tanah Merah MRT Station.
Westbound train services were not affected.
Normal eastbound train services resumed at about 3.00pm.
SMRT also deployed bus bridging services to ferry passengers between Eunos and Tanah Merah MRT stations during the train service disruption.
About 6,500 passengers were affected during the incident.
SMRT said passengers were informed of the service disruption and the free bus services through announcements, notices and the rail travel information system at affected stations.
Passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can claim a full fare refund from the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 69 SMRT stations, within the next three working days.
SMRT is assisting Police in its investigations.-- 938Live

Hope SMRT can start charging the deceased for suicides that lead to service disruptions.
In Japan, the deceased has to pay for all losses borned by the transport operators if they attempt suicide on their tracks.
Else, commuters will end up paying more due to the irresponsibilities of these people, where bridging buses have to be catered, while causing SMRT to make losses for that period. -
Some pictures to share
Next train 2 mins
No train service from TNM - EUN 
Bus bridging service
From PYL (CCL area)

Should be , depends on which station you are on.

The biggest stops were at Commonwealth, Jurong East (there was a large gang of staff gossiping in some sort of Chinese at the platform), Chinese Garden, and Lakeside. Every single time the TO had to make an announcement apologizing for the slight delay.

I traveled from Pasir Ris and was the first west bound train that got stopped and ending up in the center platform.
and best of all.... my destination is BOON LAY... so i traveled from CCL ->NSL->EWL Jurong East then all the way to Boon Lay...

i was at 311/312 and my train was stuck at Bugis. almost everyone got pissed off by the delay. the announcement in train goes like:
*Different bell when you hear the free chinatown bus shuttle*
'This train will be delayed for about 15 minutes due to track fault. We apologize for any inconvenienced caused.'
In Malay, then in Chinese then Tamil. -

just wondering... how can only trains continue to operate in one direction? In this case, Pasir Ris will run out of west-bound trains after a short while.. What happens to East-bound trains before Eunos?
Also, how does SMRT deploy bus within 12 minutes so fast? They predicted that something will happen? -
MRT service disrupted due to track incident at Bedok Station
SINGAPORE: Train services were disrupted at stations between Eunos and Tanah Merah for about an hour on Friday afternoon. This was due to a track incident at Bedok Station.
About 6,500 commuters were affected when a 54-year-old man was hit by a train at around 1.45pm.
Callers to MediaCorp's news hotline said the man jumped onto the tracks when the train was approaching.
The driver, who saw the incident, will be given counselling and a few days to recover from the trauma.
All train services resumed at about 3pm.
Twenty-four free bus bridging services were deployed for commuters affected by the disruption.
