Bukit Panjang LRT services suspended on Wednesday night due to power fault

Late-night passengers on the Bukit Panjang LRT had their commute disrupted on Wednesday night (7 November). At 11:56pm, SMRT tweeted that service across the line was suspended due to a power fault, and that free regular and bridging bus services were available at all affected stations.

A further update was tweeted at 12:50am on Thursday morning, informing commuters that service would not resume for the rest of the night. The last loop service on the LRT usually departs Bukit Panjang station at 1:02am. Regular services resumed this morning at 5:15am, SMRT tweeted.

The latest disruption comes after a service delay on Bukit Panjang LRT earlier this week on Monday morning, when a traction power trip occurred between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang stations, causing the train to stall. LRT services were disrupted between 7:25am and 7:53am, causing delays to morning peak hour commutes. After four months of late opening at 8:00am for maintenance operations, regular Sunday operations were resumed on the Bukit Panjang LRT on Sunday (4 November).
