Train disruption due to "one—under" incident: SMRT

SINGAPORE: SMRT said train services on the East West Line were affected on Sunday night due to a "one—under" incident in the tunnel between Redhill and Tiong Bahru stations.

The train operator said services between Queenstown and Outram stations on both bounds were temporarily disrupted at 8.23pm for about 11 minutes.

Eastbound services were thereafter suspended intermittently between 9.14pm and 10.17pm, to facilitate police and Singapore Civil Defence Force works.

It also added that westbound services were still available, but at lower frequency.

Train services have since been fully restored.

Bus bridging and free bus services were available until 10.30pm at designated boarding points outside affected stations.

SMRT said passengers who could not continue with their journey because of the disruption can get a refund at the Passenger Service Centre at any of SMRT’s 83 stations in the next 14 days.

SMRT has apologised for the inconvenience caused and said it is assisting the police with their investigation.
