Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic May 10, 2012 Share May 10, 2012 CNA report : Train fault causes service delay between Jurong East & Joo Koon stations Posted: 10 May 2012 1227 hrs SINGAPORE: Train service on the East-West Line between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations was delayed on Thursday morning due to a train fault. Operator SMRT said that this started at about 8.30am, when an eastbound train experienced a train fault and was withdrawn as a safety precaution. Passengers on board were asked to alight at Jurong East Station. The train travelling behind the stalled train was used to help send it back to the depot. This affected service between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations, in both directions. Passengers at these stations would have experienced a delay of 20 to 30 minutes. SMRT said the high train frequencies during the rush hour can lead to congestion when there is a train fault. To minimise the impact of the service delay, some trains were turned around at Jurong East, Clementi and Queenstown MRT stations for the eastbound service. Announcements were made at the affected stations and trains, while commuters were kept informed through Traffic Watch via radio stations and SMRT's Twitter account. SMRT has apologised for the inconvenience caused. - CNA/cc So high frequencies during rush hour can lead to congestion when there is a train fault... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly this type of train faults seem so common nowadays that hardly anyone raises an eyebrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, when more people are taking public transport, and then they give excuses that public transport cannot take it, so would lead to congestion and break-downs.

SimonTan 2nd Gear May 10, 2012 Share May 10, 2012 (edited) This statement is very not simple. That means if the train frequency is lesser, then lesser commuters will be brought to the JE station, reducing the congestion at JE. Because commuters begged for higher frequency, thats why the jams developed. So don't blame SMRT when the trains break down leading to overcrowded platforms at JE. Fault lies with the demand for higher frequencies from commuters. And also higher frequencies lead to higher chance for breakdown. It's all commuters fault. Interesting logic.
