SINGAPORE – Several local telcos have said that they have been instructed to power down its mobile services along the Circle Line following intermittent signal glitches on the line for the second day running.
M1 said on its Facebook page that the suspension will last until 10pm tonight (Nov 3), and during this time network users will not be able to “make calls, send messages or access the internet”.
Starhub released a similar announcement at 8.46pm, saying that it had been “instructed to turn off mobile services in the Circle Line”.
Earlier, SMRT tweeted at 6.07pm that CCL trains may experience delays due to “intermittent signal interference”.
“For safety, CCL trains are manned this evening. We are sorry,” SMRT said.
At 8.58pm, the transport operator said that it is “conducting ongoing tests” as such commuters will experience temporary suspension of telco signals.
This comes a day after a signal fault caused a 3-hour disruption to service lines on the CCL on Wednesday (Nov 2).
