Electrical fault caused train part to fall onto tracks at Ang Mo Kio station: SMRT

A spokesperson for the SMRT has stated that an electrical fault had caused a compartment cover to fall of a train at Ang Mo Kio MRT tracks at around 6.30pm on June 12.

This was the cause of the loud bang that STOMPer Chia Huat had heard from his block opposite Ang Mo Kio MRT station. Due to this, power was switched of to the tracks, causing a disruption in train service.

Said the spokesperson:

"At around 6.30pm today (Jun 12), an electrical fault occurred to a component on a northbound train that had just departed Ang Mo Kio station, and this caused a loud noise as its compartment cover fell off.

"Power was switched off along this stretch of track for around 8 minutes, as our staff went to retrieve the cover from the track, and this caused a slight delay in service.

"The train was withdrawn from service.

"As a precautionary measure, the northbound track at Ang Mo Kio was closed for inspection and northbound trains are routed to the middle track so that service can continue.

"There was no safety risk posed to commuter service at any point in time.

"Our engineers have just completed checks on the closed track to ensure that the northbound track is safe for rail operations."

STOMPer Kelvin Ho says this escalator at Kembangan MRT suddenly broke down with a bang so loud he thought a train had crashed.

The STOMPer wrote:

"The escalator at Kembangan MRT suddenly gave way.

"This happened on Saturday, June 16, at about 6pm.

"I heard a very loud sound.

"At first I though a train had collided or something.

"I went over to the escalator and saw this.

"Luckily no one appeared to have been hurt."

SINGAPORE: About 10,500 passengers were affected by the Circle Line (CCL) disruption which was caused by a faulty power cable on Thursday night.

Speaking at a media conference on Friday morning, SMRT's CEO Desmond Kuek said the issue of faulty power cables is not new.

A similar disruption at Dakota Station last year was also the result of a power cable fault.

Mr Kuek said SMRT is aware that this problem has caused inconveniences during operations, but it bears no impact on the safety of the system.

He added that SMRT has been replacing cables found to have low insulation and the remaining will be changed progressively.

But this will take some time, as there are over 1,000 cables and they can only be replaced during a three-hour maintenance session every night.

For now, the replacement process will likely take 18 months from January 2013.

He said SMRT and LTA intend to look into accelerating the programme to fix the problem.

This includes the possibility of extending the engineering hours or closing selected stretches during off-peak hours.

He said should this be necessary, the public will be informed early of any scheduled disruptions.

There will also be alternative services to minimise the inconvenience to commuters.

Mr Kuek said one train had stalled between the Bayfront and Promenade stations - all 102 passengers got off the train at 10.48pm and this was completed by 11.07pm.

Mr Kuek added that Rail Incident Management Plan was activated immediately after the service disruption occurred.

He said SMRT has received feedback that its contingency measures have improved.

But there are areas - such as better communication, which can still be refined.

Once again, Hossan Leong failed his duty as a fellow-citizen in twitting about the breakdown.

The Circle Line is relatively new and they are talking of replacing all the electrical cables. It makes you wonder if they were using inferior cables when it was first built.
