NEL train service suffers delay

SINGAPORE: Train service on the North-East Line (NEL) between Outram Park and HarbourFront Stations were delayed for about 20 minutes on Tuesday morning due to a signalling fault.

Operator SBS Transit said two trains stopped in the tunnel during that time as engineers worked to re-set the system.

It said one of the signal track control processors was unable to send a control signal to a trackside switch to turn the trains around at HarbourFront Station.

This caused the two trains to stop, as part of the system's safety design feature.

During this time, announcements were made to all passengers in the trains and on the platforms.

SBS Transit said its customer service officers were also on hand to assist passengers at all affected stations.

Full service resumed at 8.05am.

SBS Transit apologised for the delay.

One commuter Mr T.H. Lim told Channel NewsAsia that he was in the train from Outram to Harbourfront when it stopped at about 7.45am.

He said an announcement was made about the delay, followed by another informing passengers that they'll have to wait a little longer.

Mr Lim said during the 20 minutes in the tunnel, most commuters were calm.

"If I was late for work, I would have been impatient but I always leave home early, so I was not worried," he said.

"Commuters affected experienced time loss and inconvenience but you cannot compromise on safety. It's better that they fix the problem and make things better," Mr Lim added.

So selfish. He thinks everyone is kiasu like him, leave home for work 30 mins earlier?

Don't you already know the way those Braddell media prostitutes work?

During interviews with random people:

1) Good comments, praises = get printed, get airtime on tv

2) Ambivalent comments = cleverly edited to put emphasis on the good parts.

3) Poor comments, complaints and verbal blasting = won't get printed, won't get airtime on tv.

The delay is a symptom of the train system's condition. SMRT neglected all these symptoms and opted for quick fixes.. then look what happened last thursday evening.....

One cannot just blame SMRT or SBS Transit, yes!, SMRT was lacking in quality, but the fingers should be pointed at LTA. That's the governing body, that should have been keeping a very close eyes on quality. That's under whose ministry?

Time is money. Being 20 minutes late can screw up a potential business deal or earn a scolding by the boss.You think Sinkies can afford to laze around and take things easy? If Sinkies are not frustrated by the delay, they are doomed indeed!

This Mr. Lim is a figment of the shitty press imagination...most likely the passengers were screaming " $@#$%@^%$!!!! ):- " , they dare not even approach one, so they make up story with Mr. Lim

They are telling you, instead of them solving the train breaking down problem, you public transport takers please leave home earlier for work. :oIo:
