Train delays on East-West line on Tuesday morning
Even as an inquiry on December's train breakdowns is underway, MRT commuters are facing service disruptions.
During the morning peak hour on Tuesday, a train broke down along the East-West line before the busy Jurong East Interchange.
This led to a massive tailback of services and thousands of commuters stranded on platforms. Several were seen rushing out of stations to try and hail a cab or catch a bus.
At 8.40am, SMRT would only say that a train had a fault, and that it had been cleared by then. Even so, several stations along the line were still congested.
