Train fault causes service delay between Jurong East & Joo Koon stations
SINGAPORE: Train service on the East-West Line between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations was delayed on Thursday morning due to a train fault.
Operator SMRT said that this started at about 8.30am, when an eastbound train experienced a train fault and was withdrawn as a safety precaution.
Passengers on board were asked to alight at Jurong East Station.
The train travelling behind the stalled train was used to help send it back to the depot.
This affected service between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations, in both directions.
Passengers at these stations would have experienced a delay of 20 to 30 minutes.
SMRT said the high train frequencies during the rush hour can lead to congestion when there is a train fault.
To
minimise the impact of the service delay, some trains were turned
around at Jurong East, Clementi and Queenstown MRT stations for the
eastbound service.
Announcements were made at the affected
stations and trains, while commuters were kept informed through Traffic
Watch via radio stations and SMRT's Twitter account.
SMRT has apologised for the inconvenience caused.

A DEAD man was found lying in the MRT tunnel on Sunday night, causing train services on the East-West line to be disrupted for more than two hours.
The man, a Chinese Singaporean in his 20s, was lying beside the train tracks in the tunnel between Redhill and Tiong Bahru stations. It is unclear how he got there, said the police who received a call at 7.45pm. Redhill station is above-ground while Tiong Bahru station is underground.
Trains stopped running in both directions on the East-West line from Queenstown to Outram Park at 8.23pm to allow the police to investigate the incident. Eleven minutes later, West-bound trains were running again, but less frequently.
The East-bound trains had several starts and stops, with services said to have resumed, only to be suspended again.
