"UPDATE on the power fault on the East-West Line at 4.28pm:

"We would like to express our deepest apologies to all our commuters for the significant disruption caused by the power trip. The incident was the result of an unforeseen issue during the withdrawal of an old train, where a defective train axle box on one of our first-generation trains dropped and caused the wheels of a bogie to come off the running rail and hit track equipment, including the third rail and point machines, leading to the power fault.

At SMRT, we hold the safety and well-being of our commuters and our staff as our highest priority. We fully understand the inconvenience, frustration, and delays this disruption has caused, and we deeply regret the impact it has had on your journey.

We are working relentlessly to restore service quickly.

Once again, we extend our sincerest apologies for the disruption and deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust in SMRT."

— Seah Moon Ming, Chairman, and Ngien Hoon Ping, GCEO, SMRT Corporation"

Why did the axel box drop?  Was it not secured properly?  Did the bolt/screw break?  Did anyone check that it was secured or loose?

Do we have choice except to continue trusting??

While they continue to thrust you once a while by raising fares.

Fare is determined via Fare Formula.

It could be up.

It could be down (there was down 1 or twice, but nobody rem).

Lastly there are still about 13% increase being deferred and likely to defer till till 2027/2028.

How to ‘cover up’ when the train service disrupted for so many days, even don’t want to apologise and acknowledge what had happened also cannot escape liao.

its the stupid narrow section from AYE to Ave6. all the trailers also use it.  they should try to widen it. Maybe acquire the HDB block hindering expansion and demolish it... 😁

In theory, when Tuas Port is fully open, trucks and containers should not be so widespread on our roads.

But then last time someone say if MRT don't break down for a long time it means a big breakdown is just round the corner.

So, conversely, if a big breakdown has happened, there should be trouble-free period to be expected thereafter.

Such a major breakdown on EWL at clementi side this time, means this stretch of the line would be trouble-free for quite a long time? Lol.
