SINGAPORE: Several stranded commuters, including those with young children, had to walk on the train tracks on Saturday (May 19) after a train fault on the Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (BPLRT) brought services to a halt.
Train service was disrupted for nearly two hours.
In a tweet at around 2.20pm, SMRT said there was no train service on the BPLRT due to a “train fault” between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang station.
In a subsequent tweet at around 2.50pm, SMRT said that Train Service A had resumed and that its engineers were working to recover Train Service B.
At around 3.50pm, SMRT said the train fault was cleared and that Train Service B was "gradually being restored".
upcoming replacement of LRT vehicles and renewal of signalling systems on the BLPRT will improve passenger service.
