NEL train services from Dhoby Ghaut to HarbourFront halted
-
HarbourFront, Outram Park, Chinatown and Clarke Quay MRT stations have been closed due to an electrical problem which caused a train to stall just after Outram Park station.
At around 12.45pm, a southbound North-East Line train stalled in the tunnel due to loss of traction power.
Repeated attempts to bring the power back failed and about half-an-hour after the incident, about 100 passengers were evacuated from the train.
Initial investigations showed a wire which supplied traction power to the trains had come loose.
SBS Transit says its engineers are working to bring the system up again, but this is likely to take several hours.
Normal train operations are still running between Dhoby Ghaut and Punggol stations, while alternative free bus services from the affected stations have been activated.
Those affected can seek a refund of their fare at any NEL Passenger Service Counter.
The public may call the SBS Transit Customer Relations Centre at 1800-287-2727 or 6383-7214 for further information.
