SINGAPORE - Train services on three*MRT lines and the Bukit Panjang LRT were disrupted at peak hour on Monday (April 25) night.

The affected*parts of the lines were*Buona Vista to Joo Koon stations on*the East-West Line,*Jurong East to Kranji stations*on the North-South Line and*Caldecott to HarbourFront stations*on the Circle Line.

More than 30 affected stations were without power except for emergency lighting.


SMRT said that all affected commuters can seek a refund of their fares in the next 14 days from passenger service counters at any of its MRT stations.

At 7.53pm, a power dip at Buona Vista power intake station caused a power trip, SMRT said.


A power intake station takes power supply from the power grid to power sections of the MRT network. There are five such power intake stations along the North-South and East-West Lines, as well as the Circle Line.

Free bus services were activated at 8.15pm.

Services on the North-South and East-West Lines resumed at 8.23pm, and services on the Circle Line resumed at 8.48pm, SMRT said in a statement.

Services*on the Bukit Panjang LRT *resumed at 9.47pm.



Four trains on the LRT were stalled between stations and 150 passengers were asked to disembark, SMRT said.



"We are still investigating the cause of the power trip... We deeply apologise for the inconvenience caused," SMRT said.

It added that "checks will be done overnight especially on the Buona Vista power intake station, during engineering hours".


This was how events unfolded earlier in the night.

At about 8.10pm, SMRT*said that more than 20 stations across two MRT lines were hit by a power fault.

SMRT said in a tweet then, that*was no train service between Joo Koon and Bugis stations on the East-West Line, and between Woodlands and Jurong East stations on the North-South Line.

It attributed the disruptions to a traction power fault.


Free regular bus services were then made available between Joo Koon and City Hall stations, and between Kranji and Jurong East stations, SMRT added.

It also tweeted an*online guide*to alternative bus services.

Power Trip at Tiong Bahru Station

Some MRT stations also experienced blackouts, reports from Straits Times readers and on social media indicated.

Ms Pauline Wong, who was at Boon Lay station, said that passengers were asked to take a free bus service.

The train was "not moving"and there was "no air con in the carriage", she told The Straits Times in a Facebook message.

There was also a blackout at the Boon Lay MRT station , and the shops were dark, she added.

Twitter user Darryl Kang wrote: "SMRT power trip. This is at Dover MRT station."

He posted a photo of a darkened train platform where a train had stopped at 8.06pm.


An ST reader*reported intermittent power at the Fajar LRT station.

The power was "on and off for around 10 mins", said Ms Stella Poh.

Mr*McRhon S. Banderlipe said that he was in*Botanic Gardens MRT station when the power tripped and his train stopped.*

Commuter Keith Yeo tweeted: "uh oh. Circle line is also affected already."

Meanwhile, Mr Shou Karasuma said his train on the North-South Line towards Jurong East had been travelling at a slow speed.

"Expect crowding at some stations and congestions as trains are travelling at a slower speed," the transport operator tweeted at 8.34pm.

There will be money to be made, if one sells, MRT Breakdown kit....consisting of (1) Torch Light that does not need batteries, (2) Pee, pee, aka whistle, (3) Face mask, (4) Rain Coat, (5) Safety Helmet, (6) Toggle Rope, (7) Light Stick (8) Emergency Safety boots...

I forgot, Hong Yue....aka Medicated oil....
