SINGAPORE – A track fault caused for delays on the Circle Line on Tuesday morning (Sept 20), train operator SMRT said in a tweet.
At about 6:57am, the company had initially tweeted that commuters should expect five-minute extra travelling time from Paya Lebar to MacPherson stations towards HarbourFront, before following up with a tweet that said the problem was cleared.
However, some minutes later, it said that commuters should expect a five-minute additional travelling time on trains from Dhoby Ghaut to MacPherson towards Harbour Front. This was later updated to 10 minutes of additional travelling time.
Some commuters delayed by the track fault reacted via Twitter, with one calling the Circle Line the “most problematic line”.
One commuter with the Twitter handle @chris89757 wrote: “Circle line delay.. Finally got on the 3rd train that arrived and still waiting to depart.”
