SINGAPORE: A train fault on the Downtown Line (DTL) caused travel delays during the morning rush hour on Thursday (Dec 21).
SBS Transit said on its official Twitter account at around 7.50am that train service on the line was delayed from Downtown station towards Expo station, and that commuters should add 10 minutes to their travel time.
It said at around 8am that full service had resumed.
A Channel NewsAsia reader who did not want to be named said he boarded the train at Bukit Panjang MRT station at around 7am, but the train did not move off and an announcement was made 10 minutes later telling commuters to alight.
Commuters were told that bridging bus services were available.
Photos showed a packed scene on the Bukit Panjang MRT platform.

New line also got problem . And the problem always occur during rush hour . So how Mr Khaw still do not want to set up an Independent committee of inquiry ? Why PAP is so quick to set up committees including the Oxley affair and yet so slow to set up an Independent Committee of Inquiry for the train disruptions ?
