Commuters on the East-West Line this morning faced a 40-minute travelling time delay due to a track fault during the morning peak hour train rush.
The track fault occurred at 7am, and SMRT had to stop train services between Clementi and Jurong East MRT station so staff could go onto the track to check the fault.
The fault was finally fixed 7 hours later, with normal train service resuming at about 2pm.
Today’s disruption comes after a 15-minute travelling time delay yesterday on the EWL due to a track door fault, which took SMRT an hour to rectify.
